Abstract
Abstract The content of fluorine in water in the neighbourhood of fluorite-containing mineralizations has been measured. The mineralizations contain skarn silicates, calcite, fluorite, scheelite and molybdenite. Increased contents were found both in streams and in ground water. The content in streams in the immediate neighbourhood of the mineralizations was found to be 0.3–0.5 ppm. The background value should be of the order of 0.15 ppm, provided that the fluorine is of atmospheric origin. In ground water, several ppm of fluorine have been measured. The anomalies in ground water seem to be restricted to an area close to the outcrops of the ore bodies. This is due to the reactivity of the fluoride ion, which makes it apt to be removed from solution.
