Abstract

Fluorine-rich water is widely distributed over China's sand deserts. For example, the sampling sites where ground water contains more than 1 mg/L of fluorine almost account for 77 percent of the total sampling sites in Ba-dain Jaran Desert and 80 percent in Tengger Desert. The maximum fluorine measured reaches 24 mg/L in Taklimakan Desert, 27.5 mg/L in Tengger Desert, 32 mg/L in Kurbantunggut Desert, 32.5 mg/L in Mu Us sandy land 192 mg/L in Badain Jaran Desert.
