What is Fluorine:

Fluorine is a non-metallic diatomic gas that is a trace element. It is a toxic, pale-yellow gas and is extremely reactive. Reactions of fluorine with alkali metals cause explosions. Fluorite, the primary mineral source of fluorine, is used extensively in steel-making. Many pharmaceuticals contain fluorine. Fluorine reacts with water and is corrosive to most common materials. It is an oxidizer and will react enough with most combustible materials to cause ignition. Under prolonged exposure to fire or heat, containers of fluorine may rupture and rocket.

Fluorine Exposure and Health Risks:

Fluorine is toxic and deadly by inhalation and skin absorption. Low concentrations will cause chemical burns. Chronic absorption can cause osteosclerosis and calcification of ligaments. As an oxidizer, fluorine provides great danger if it should ignite, causing a fire. It can also cause damage in occurrence of explosion.

Regulations:

The table below summarizes the most-recent exposure limits.

Measuring Fluorine:

Fluorine concentration in the air can be measured in units of parts per million (ppm). We carry portable and fixed Fluorine monitors and kits, and all of our Fluorine products can be viewed using the table near the top of the page.
