Fluorine is reasonably abundant but not too abundant chemical element. <br><br />
It is by no means as abundant as it's heavier same-group-sibling-element [[chlorine]]. <br><br />
[[Chlorine]] can be grabbed from seawater in nigh boundless amounts.<br />
<br />
Fluorine:<br />
* Can be used for [[nanoscale surface passivation]] very similar to hydrogen<br />
* Likes to snatch lots of electrons from sulfur (SF<sub>6</sub> is a highly stable molecular compound)<br />
<br />
Fluorine likes to form <br />
* highly stable compounds. <br><br />
* quite dangerous dangerous compounds (insidiously acidic and toxic)<br />
In case of extreme treatment even the stable ones decompose and become dangerous. <br><br />
Thus one might want to: <br />
* use fluorine in moderation<br />
* not use fluorine in combustible products or potentially via heat exposure out-gassing products. (Note: Most [[gem-gum]] products not made solely from air will likely be incombustible.) <br><br />
This is basically for the same reasons we want to avoid the usage of PVC plastic ([https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyvinyl_chloride polyvinyl chloride]) <br><br />
Just that fluorine is even more aggressive when released by combustion.<br />
