Research Abstract

Analytical conditions of the method for the fluoride determination by pyrohydrolysis and flow injection analysis with a fluoride ion selective electrode were studied. Suitable conditions were set. Inorganic and organic fluoride compounds, such as NaF, were analyzed and recoveries were investigated. Recoveries of 100% for the fluoride compounds were obtained. Fluoride contents of standard reference materials, NIST SRM 1573a (Tomato Leaves), 1515 (Apple Leaves), 1568a (Rice Flour), 1577 (Bovine Liver), 1549 (Non-Fat Milk Powder) and NIES No.7 (Tea Leaves), were determined. Certified values of fluoride contents for these materials were not presented. Fluoride contents of these materials were determined within 10 % of relative standard deviations.
Hospital meals of 96 (breakfast, lunch and dinner of 32days) were collected in 2 university hospitals. Fluoride concentrations of these meals were determined. The distribution of daily fluoride intakes calculated from fluoride concentrations of these meals was not a normal distribution, biased to low levels. Eighty percent of 32 daily fluoride intakes was less than 0.5 mg and only one daily intake was over 1.0 mg. It is estimated that daily intakes of fluoride from meals in Japan are less than 1.0 mg. Fluoride concentrations of favorite foods, such as tea and juice, were determined. Fluoride concentrations in green tea and oolon tea were high, 1.0 - 1.5 mg/l. Fluoride intakes from these tea are estimated to be equal or higher than those from meals.
