"Fluoride, a goitrogenic substance in drinking water, is another contributing factor to high GP (goitre prevalence). The fluoride concentration of drinking water was as high as 1.00 mg/kg in Chongqing municipality, which led Chongqing to have the highest GP (18.37%, 18 of 98) amongst all study areas."
