Abstract
The role of fluorine in plant physiology has assumed great importance in recent years, stemming primarily from its toxic properties when absorbed by or deposited on plants as gases or solids emitted by certain industries such as aluminum, steel, ceramics and phosphate fertilizers, as reviewed by Semrau (1957). Fluorine compounds are present in the raw materials or are used in the manufacturing processes of these industries. The great expansion of some of these industries in the past 20–30 years has drawn attention to their fluoride emanations as air pollutants capable of doing substantial damage to both plants and animals. The necessity for remedial measures has also been recognized and at least partially achieved. Fluoride damage to animals is due largely to ingestion of fodder containing 30 to 50 ppm or more fluorine. Alther (1961) has recently reviewed this subject.
