Groundwater pollution by fluoride is one of the prime concerns of the world population due
to its toxicity, which results in adverse health impacts. In this paper, we review the current …

Molecular absorption spectrometry (MAS), originally developed in the 1970s, is a technique
to determine non-metals in flames and graphite furnaces by monitoring the absorbance of …

This review article covers 1½ centuries of history of continuum source atomic absorption
spectrometry (CS AAS), starting with the early experiments of Kirchhoff and Bunsen in the …

Fluoride has interesting properties related to human health, particularly in preventing dental
caries. However, when it is concentrated in drinking water at levels higher than 1 mg l− 1, a …

This work examines the new possibilities introduced with the arrival of commercially
available high-resolution continuum source atomic absorption spectrometers for the …

The determination of total fluorine content using high-resolution graphite furnace continuum
source molecular absorption spectrometry (HR-MAS) has been employed in a variety of …

Sulphur and halogens (fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine) are nonmetallic elements that
are found in various matrices, where their existence can be in the form of an impurity or of …

The introduction of fluorine into organic molecules leads to new chemical/physical
properties. Especially in the field of pharmaceutical as well as technical applications …

Measuring sub-ppm levels of fluorine (F) directly with a commercial ICPMS is not possible
due to the high ionisation potential of F. Mixing of barium and fluorine solutions enabled a …

This study describes the determination of fluorine evaluating the molecular absorption of
barium monofluoride (BaF) at the rotational lines of 495.088 and 495.263 nm simultaneously …
