Abstract
First data have been collected to characterize fluorine concentrations in the surface water of Bering Island (the Komandorskie Islands). The average fluorine concentration is 0.23 mg F/L with variations within the range of 0.08–0.42 mg F/L, which is ~2 times higher than the average fluorine concentration in world rivers (~0.1 mg F/L) but corresponds to its occurrence in rivers in the Russian Eastern Arctic and Kamchatka (0.15–0.21 mg F/L). The major fluorine sources have been shown to be weathering products and atmospheric precipitation.
