Fluoride is non‐biodegradable, widespread and relatively persistent pollutant, which at low levels of contamination causes serious health problems which are difficult to cure.
Fluoride compounds are all related by containing fluorine. Fluorine is a naturally occurring compound in the earth. It combines with hydrogen to make hydrogen fluoride. Hydrogen fluoride exists as a particle in the air when released in the atmosphere. It dissolves when mixed with water. Concentrated hydrogen fluoride is very corrosive and can badly burn any animal, plant and bird exposed to it. Fluorides are not expected to bio-accumulate.
Fluoride naturally exists in the minerals, as well as in soil, water, and air. However, fluoride pollution in the environment occurs because the chemical is synthesized for intentional use in community water fluoridation, dental products, and other consumer items. Fluoride pollution can adversely impact wildlife.
Creation and utilization of modern chemicals in different sectors like hydrogen fluoride (HF), calcium fluoride (CaF), sodium fluoride (NaF), fluorosilicic corrosive (H SiF), sodium hexafluorosilicate (Na SiF), sulfur hexafluoride (SF), and phosphate manures are the main sources of fluoride.
Industries that Emit Fluoride Pollution:
• Cement and phosphate fertilizer units
• Plastic, pharmaceutical, tooth paste, chemical, and automobile industries
• Welding, refrigeration, and rust removal activities
• Aluminum smelters
• Blast furnace manufacturing
• Oil refineries
• Enamel, pottery, glass, and brick works
• Coal and fuel combustion
• Steel and iron foundries
• Zinc production
Natural Sources:
Water: There are multiple factors which are responsible for the presence of fluoride in natural ground water from the soil. Among them, geological factors are nature of rocks, consistency of the soil, pH and temperature of the soil, chelating action of other elements, leakage of shallow groundwater, depth of wells, and chemical and physical characteristics of water.
Soil: The normal total fluoride content of soil ranges from 150-400 mg/kg. Fluoride level in the clay soil is 1000 mg/kg. Fluoride contamination to soil is because of the utilization of phosphorus fertilizers which have total 1-1.5% fluorine. Contaminated soil with fluoride, show it’s toxicity after the inhalation of soil contaminants which have vaporized or through the contaminated ground water after the fluoride leaching from the soil.
Volcanic activities: From the volcanic eruption, fluoride has been released in the form of hydrogen fluoride. Volcanic ash contains high level of fluoride and contaminations of fluoride to the geochemical cycle are frequent. Erupted fluoride may covered several places and stay for many years. After decaying and leaching, fluoride caused severe casualty to domestic and wild animals.
Features

- Comes with a easy plug and play design that is robust enough for industrial application
Installation methods
Medium immersed
- Sites with challenges like a distant medium source from the point of controller mount, this method of installation can be chosen.
- The analyser being constantly in contact with the medium helps the analyser to never face a dry-off situation
Extractive
Where the sample enters and exits the system like a standard stationed measured device. Usually avoids the Constantine medium matrix as the sample with variating quality flows through the device rather than a partially stagnant volume of medium. Sample extraction accessory is required for this type
