The water soluble fluoride (11) in the surface soil ranged from 0.59 ppm to 2.74 ppm where as CaCl(2) extractable fluoride ranged from 0.69 ppm to 3.18 ppm. The mean total fluoride concentration in surface soil varied from 322 microg g(-1) to 456 microg g(-1). The local vegetations grown in the area found to accumulate air borne fluoride from the brick field.
