Abstract
The concentration of organic F in human serum has been reported to vary from 0.0-0.13 ppm in persons not exposed to industrial fluorochemicals. To help ascertain whether the natural environment was a source of organic F in human serum, samples from a group of rural Chinese were analyzed. The samples contained low levels of organic F and the expected inorganic F-.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
