Abstract: 

Chemical analyses of bone tissue of red deer from two hunting grounds
situated in the Krušnć hory (Ore Mountains) have revealed different
trajectories of fluorine loads to these forested areas since sixties.
Concentrations of fluorine in the site father (a 40 km) from the
emission sources display relatively stable course through the last fifty
years, did not reach values that can be stressing or even live limiting
to red deer, and signified decreasing trend in last decade. Long-term
course of fluorine concentration in samples from the second ground (half
distance) has raising tendency since fifties. The species of this
region have not been able to resist to high immission loads from near
coal power plants and ecosystem balance have been disturbed. This
resulted, except others, into forest decline (Norway spruce). Since
seventies most of the determined fluorine concentration indicate initial
or already developed stages of fluorosis in red deer.
