Rabbit lenses which had accumulated Rb were incubated in a medium containing sufficient nonlabeled rubidium (33 mM.) to saturate the carrier or concentrations of ouabain (10-*M) which inhibited the transport system. The rate of runout of Rb so determined could be increased by reducing the concentration of calcium in the medium or by the addition of such metabolic inhibitors as iodoacetate, fluo...

Crop field soil collected from Sambalpur University campus of Odisha and treated with various fluoride concentrations was used to raise selected local crops. Background concentration of total and leachable fluoride content in soil was 95.19 and 8.89 ppm respectively. At the time of harvest of the crops, the total fluoride content was found to decrease and leachable fluoride content was found to...

The purpose of this review is to describe various geological and chemical factors that are controlling the fluoride concentration in soil, rocks, water, air, plants, animals and food stuffs. Further to discuss well established method that is used as the standard methods of analysis. Rock, Soil, Water, air, plants, animals, foodstuffs all contain fluoride in widely varied concentration. Industri...
