It has been suggested that the fluorine content of crude sea salt may have special value in the prevention of tooth decay, by A.E.Schaefer and J/H/.Shaw. Shaw calculated that if crude sea salt containing about 40 ppm of fluorine were used, the consumption of 26-44 grams of the salt per day for each prison would be sufficient for the prevention of tooth decay. He also suggested that this level of salt consumption is actually quite common among many population in the far and near east. In order to examine the fluorine contents of sea salt in Korea, several kinds of solar-evaporating salt and pan-evaporating salt were studied. The experimental results may be summarized as follows; 1. Fluorine contents of 9 kinds of solar-evaporating salt ranged from 3.8 to 15.0 ppm and the average was 7.52 $pm$ 3.89 ppm. 2. Fluorine contents of 7 kinds of pan-evaporating salt ranged from 2.5 to 7.1 ppm. 3. The more the salt is refined, the less becomes the fluorine content. 4. Even the crudest sea salt can not contain about 40 ppm of fluorine. 5. Statistically, daily consumption of sea slat for each person in Korea is 28 grams.
