Turkish Journal of Chemistry

The determination of fluoride in some environmental samples was performed using a fluoride ion-selective electrode. Fluoride concentrations were determined in drinking waters (from different provinces, districts and villages in Turkey), fruit juices, bottled water samples, toothpastes and tooth powders, liquors of Turkish coffee, coffee, linden, rose hip, and various brand tea infusions, and dust samples collected from the Erciyes University campus car park. The average fluoride concentration in 39 drinking waters was 0.21 mg L^{-1} (0.02--1.42 mg L^{-1}); the level of dissolved fluoride in the dust samples was 1.39 \pm 0.09 \mu g g^{-1}; the fluoride concentrations in liquors taken …
