“…Experimental animal studies and field studies in different mammalian wildlife species indicated that in principle both the secretory stage and the post-secretory stage of enamel formation can be adversely affected by increased fluoride exposure (for recent reviews see Aoba andFejerskov 2002, andTataruch andKierdorf 2003). A characteristic feature of dental fluorosis is a subsurface hypomineralization of the enamel, which today is widely regarded as being caused by a fluoride-induced disturbance of enamel maturation (Aoba and Fejerskov 2002).…”

“…Determining the concentrations of metals in the biota provides information concerning their movement through the environment, accumulation and potential toxicological effects (Torres and Johnson 2001). Animals, especially mammals, are useful bioindicators for environmental monitoring in ecosystems with pollution loads (Tataruch and Kierdorf 2004). Most wild carnivorous mammals, which are at the top of the food web, may be very sensitive to any biomagnification processes.…”

“…Because antlers are collected by hunters as trophies and regularly kept in private or public collections, well-dated sets of antlers are often available for study (U. Tataruch and Kierdorf 2003). Larger sets of antlers from a given region with known dates of collection constitute valuable environmental archives, whose analysis allows a reconstruction of past environmental concentrations of these contaminants.…”

“…Comparison of antlers from different regions representing the same time span moreover enables the assessment of spatial variation in the degree of environmental pollution for a given period (U. Tataruch and Kierdorf 2003).…”
