Abstract

Fluorine content in bulk sediment and its pore water in Western Antarctic Ocean is 200~395 μg/g and 1.18~1.92 μg/ml respectively, far below the average reported previously in the world oceans (540 μg/g and 2.7 μg/ml, respectively). This study also shows that the distribution of fluorine in the sediments of the area is mainly controlled by the chemical composition of the material from the surrounding islands, and the element seems to be mostly incorporated in the hornblende, thus the correlation between the element and the hornblende amount in the sediments can be expressed statistically as following: F=217+ln Vh.
