fluoride is recognized as an effective agent for dental caries prevention. generally, the main source of fluoride intake is drinking water. in this study, fluoride content in 18 commercial brands of bottled waters was investigated. six samples from each batch of 18 iranian commercial brands of bottled waters were supplied. the fluoride content of samples was analyzed by fluoride ion selective e...

a flow injection system is reported for the determination of fluoride based on its effects on the fluorescence intensity of al-morin complex at ph 3.0 in ethanol-warn mixture. the effect of important parameters such as excitation and emission wavelengths, ph, reagents concenkations, flow rate of the carrier stream, sample injection volume, time of measurepent and interferences are reported. cat...

Methods for the determination of fluorine in a variety of matrices are reviewed with particular attention to those techniques which are widely adopted as routine methods. The fluoride ion-sensitive electrode is a very successful potentiometric technique for the determination of fluoride in aqueous solution and it has largely replaced the various colorimetric methods formerly used. However it is...

A method for activating ISE is proposed that can allow determination of the fluoride concentration at ng mL(-1) level with good precision and accuracy. Fluoride ISE is activated in 0.5 mol L(-1) HClO4 medium and then fluoride is determined in the same medium. The linear range for the determination of fluoride is between 1.00 x 10(-2)-1.00 x 10(-7) mol L(-1), and the detection limit of the metho...

Some current methods for the determination of both particulate and gaseous compounds of fluorine, present in air as pollutants, are described and compared. The operation included sampling of the air, the separation of fluoride from interfering substances and its final determination. Results obtained for the separation of fluoride by distillation and by other techniques of microdiffusion are pre...

A flow injection method with on-line solid sample dissolution was developed for the determination of fluoride in phosphate rock. The fluoride was selectively leached (98-102.4 % recovery) from a 50-mg powdered phosphate rock sample with 0.50 M citric acid. Using the zone sampling technique the fluoride in the buffered leachate was determined by injecting 87 muL into the carrier stream using a f...

Two luminescent probes [Eu.L¹⁻²]⁺ are reported for the rapid detection of fluoride in water. Probes [Eu.L¹⁻²]⁺ exhibit exceptional enhancements in Eu emission in the presence of fluoride, permitting its selective determination within the environmentally relevant concentration range (20-210 μM).

&nbsp; Background : Fluorine is an essential micronutrient for human health, serving to strengthen the apatite matrix of skeletal tissues and teeth. In regions where the fluoride (F&minus;) concentration of water is naturally low (<0.5 mg/l), some communities have chosen to add this constituent to their drinking water to strengthen teeth and to minimize cavities P.B.
