Abstract
The fluoride ion (F) concentration levels of the 20 most popular herbal distillates sold in Iran were determined. The mean F content of the samples was 50 μg/L with a range of not detectable-340 μg/L. The estimated maximum daily, weekly, and monthly intakes of F were 34, 238, and 1020 μg/day respectively. The results of this study showed that the low concentration levels of F found in Persian herbal distillates should not normally significantly increase the F intake of consumers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
