The book delves into the critical relationship between water quality and soil chemistry, emphasizing that water, often perceived as abundant, is influenced by its chemical composition for various uses. It highlights fluorosis, a significant public health issue affecting 22 countries, caused by excessive fluoride intake through drinking water. The text explains how fluoride enters the environment naturally from mineral weathering, volcanic activity, and industrial processes, detailing its detrimental effects on health, including dental and skeletal disorders.

Focusing on the challenges of bacterial infections in dental and orthopedic implants, this work explores enhancing titanium's properties for better performance in medical applications. It highlights the formation of titania on titanium surfaces and its cytocompatibility, while addressing its lack of antibacterial properties, which contribute to implant failures. The study proposes a novel approach to create thick titania and conducting polymer coatings through anodization, aiming to improve corrosion resistance and incorporate antibacterial properties without compromising mammalian cell function.

The book delves into the anodizing process of aluminum, a technique essential across various industries from kitchenware to aerospace. It explores the formation of oxide films using different acids, highlighting phosphoric acid for adhesive bonding and chromic acid for corrosion resistance. Notably, it investigates the novel use of potassium titanium oxalate electrolyte for anodization, aiming to produce thick, porous alumina coatings with enhanced corrosion resistance at room temperature, an area previously under-researched.
