Fluoride takes part in a number of geochemical and biochemical reactions. The activity of the fluoride thus makes the ion non conservative in many occations, though the ion is included in the major ions category. Preferential enrichment of fluoride is a general observations in the coastal and estuarine environment. The …
Fluoride concentration in rocks and soil are well documented, but data on the F concentration in coal are limited.
