Article Synopsis
  • Fluoride is crucial for dental health at specific concentrations (0.7-1.2 ppm) but can be harmful in excess, leading to various health issues, highlighting the need for effective detection methods in water.
  • The study introduces a new chemodosimeter, HIPS-Br, designed to specifically detect fluoride ions using a fluorescence-based method, which shows a strong orange emission in the presence of fluoride.
  • HIPS-Br demonstrates high selectivity for fluoride ions over other substances, with a low detection limit of 1.2 ppb, and proves effective in analyzing fluoride levels in real samples, such as water and toothpaste, as well as in on-site applications using silica-coated TLC plates.
