Summary
The aim of this study was to assess the fluoride content in hair and hoofs of wild boars and deer from Western Pomerania (Poland). Fluoride content was determined with the Orion 96-09 fluoroselective electrode. The highest content of fluoride (13.39 µg/g d.m.) was found in hair of wild boars from the city of Stargard Szczeciński. The lowest fluoride content was in the control group of boars from the city of Pyrzyce (8.41 µg/g d.m.) and Myślibórz (6.11 µg/g d.m.). It was concluded that biomonitoring of fluoride accumulation in hair and hoofs may be useful for the assessment of environmental pollution with fluorine compounds.

K e y w o r d s: environmental contamination – fluoride – hair – hoof – wild boars – deer.
