A study of the fluoride concentration in several marine areas around Sweden is reported. It has been established that the fluoride-chlorinity relationship at low chlorinities is much affected by river runoff due to removal of fluoride by the agency of settling particles. The effect of this is enhanced where rivers open into relatively high-saline water. In the Baltic, which is strongly influenced by river runoff, the fluorido to chlorinity ratio is much higher than in the open oceans. In the oxygenated layers of the Baltic fluoride shows little variation with time, but in the anoxic layers the fluoride concentration decreases with time. In the deeper layers of the Kattegatt an increase in fluoride could be noted which might be due to dissolution of minerals. An overall relationship between fluoride concentration and chlorinity in offshore waters has been established.
