FLUORIDE ELECTRODE-COUPLED MINICOMPUTER FOR DETERMINATION OF FLUORIDEIN HUMAN HAIR

This article presents a method of measuring the degree of fluorosis in people who work in a fluoride-polluted environment by the determinati on of fluoride in human hair. The oxygen flask method of decomposing a nd the addition of auxiliary combustible adhesive paper to the filter paper wrapping the hair sample before ignition, in combination with Gr an's multiple addition of fluoride electrode coupled minicomputer are recommended. This method is simple, rapid, and sensitive and hair samp les are easy to obtain. It is the same for the results of the analysis of the degrees of fluorosis of workers who work in a fluoride-pollute d environment. (C) 1995 Academic Press, Inc.
