Abstract
Fluoride occurs naturally in plants, but its presence has attracted attention primarily in certain industrial areas where concentrations are elevated above normal by accumulation from the atmosphere. Certain plant species have been observed to be injured as a result of accumulation of excessive fluoride from the atmosphere. The general symptoms of fluoride injury are necrotic lesions and burning which appear first in the leaf tips and margins.
