The content and distribution characteristics of F in soils in the whole region and the typical areas of the Zhujiang River delta were studied by contrast with the F background of soils in the Zhujiang River delta and whole China. Soil types, parent rocks and land use types affecting the above situation were analyzed in this paper, and the relations between F content of soils and endemic fluorosis were discussed. The results show that the F average value of surface soils and deep soils in the Zhujiang River delta is respectively 510 mg/kg and 529 mg/ kg.  High F soils and crops in the study region caused by high F geological environment become factors responsible for endemic fluorosis.
