Determination of fluorine in biological materials: a review
P. Venkateswarlu
This review on determination of fluorine in biological materials briefly
covers (a) a discussion of various forms of fluorine in body fluids and
tissues [and also in foods]; (b) methods of their determination, including
pretreatment of samples, separation and concentration of F and its final
measurement; (c) an evaluation of the analytical methods used and
interpretation of results; and (d) some recommendations for future research
in fluorine analytical methods applicable to biological materials.
