Chronologically researches of fluorine in the environment were analyzed and summarized in the article. There is shown the contribution of certain scholars in the history of the discovery and study of fluorine. The main directions of current research of the microelement are determined. Key words: fluorine, history of research, environment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
