Abstract
New data on the fluorine content in North Atlantic waters was obtained by the method of direct potenti-ometry with a fluoride ion-selective electrode. The measured fluorine concentration was equal to 1,27 0,03 mg/kg at F/Cl mass ratio of (6,59 0,11) · 10-5, which closely corresponds to the normal fluorine content in seawater. The totality of available data on the F/Cl ratio in different areas of the World Ocean suggests rather low variability of the fluorine content in seawater salts.
