The fluorine content of 30 profiles, 137 samples in all, of representative soils of varied texture, parent material, and geographic distribution are given. This fluorine content varies from a trace to 7,070 ppm in an unusual Tennessee soil containing phosphate rock. The average for surface soils is 292 ppm. In general, the fluorine content increases with the depth of the soil. Fluorine is considerably concentrated in the colloidal matter. Much of the fluorine in soils highest in fluorine is in the form of apatite. Evidence, however, is presented to show that, in general, the main source of fluorine in the ordinary soil is the micaceous clays. In general, there is no correlation between the phosphorus and fluorine contents of soil where the fluorine present is not mainly in the form of apatite. It is shown that six samples of micaceous clays, which probably occur in soil, have fluorine contents ranging from 300 to 7400 ppm averaging 3730 ppm. One Ordovician bentonite contains the maximum quantity of fluorine. Much of the fluorine added to the soil in the form of superphosphate is retained by the heavier textured soils. Coarse, sandy soils retain less of the added fluorine. Added fluorine in themore » form of superphosphate does not appear to increase significantly the fluorine content of plants. The fluorine contents of 28 samples of vegetation grown on a soil of known fluorine content are given. It is pointed out that there is very little chance of fluorine contamination in these samples.« less
