Measurement of the concentrations of fluorine in the soil of different areas of Savar and its effects on Environment

To find out the concentration of Fluorine, soil samples were collected from ten different agricultural lands of different places of Savar which were measured by using proton induced gamma rays emission (PIGE) technique. The samples were irradiated by 2.5MeV proton beam from 3MV Van de Graaff acceler...

The average concentration of fluorine in the soils of Savar was 787.25ppm which was more than twice its optimum concentration of it in soil. This extra fluorine might be the result of unwise waste management of different industries and laboratories which are located in that area. The concentrations in the soils were compared with that of standard and discussed in both biological and environmental contexts. 2010-10-07T07:25:32Z 2010-10-07T07:25:32Z 2007 Article http://hdl.handle.net/10361/371 en BRAC University Journal, BRAC University;Vol.4.
