Abstract

The objectives of the present study were to determine the concentration levels of the fluoride (F) and chloride (Cl) ions, and the F to Cl (F:Cl) ratio, in the seawater adjacent to the industrial region of the Pars Special Energy Economic Zone along the northern part of the Persian Gulf in Bushehr province, Iran. Forty-five seawater samples from three different areas of the northern part of the Persian Gulf, Nakhle Taghi, Kangan, and Lavare Saheli, were collected during March-August 2016. The results showed that the ranges for the concentration levels of F and Cl were 0.35– 2.79 mg/L and 19.99–35.49 g/L, respectively. The range for the F:Cl ratio was 1.34×10–5–11.50×10–5. © 2017, ISFR.
