Fluorosis in black-tailed deer.

J P Newman, M H Yu

    Journal of Wildlife Diseases
    |January 1, 1976
    PubMed
    Summary

    Industrial fluoride exposure caused significant dental problems and high bone fluoride levels in black-tailed deer. These findings suggest potential health risks for wildlife near pollution sources.

    Area of Science:

    • Environmental toxicology
    • Wildlife health
    • Dental pathology

    Background:

    • Assessing the impact of industrial emissions on wildlife health.
    • Investigating fluoride exposure pathways in wild populations.
    • Establishing baseline health indicators for black-tailed deer.

    Observation:

    • Black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus) near an industrial fluoride source exhibited severe dental disfigurement.
    • Abnormal tooth wear patterns were prevalent in the affected deer population.
    • Bone samples revealed fluoride concentrations 10-35 times higher than in control animals.

    Findings:

    • Elevated bone fluoride levels in deer correlate with proximity to industrial fluoride emissions.
    • Observed dental abnormalities are consistent with fluorosis.
    • Fluoride accumulation in deer bone mirrors levels seen in cattle with fluorosis.

    Implications:

    • Industrial fluoride pollution poses a significant health risk to local wildlife populations.
    • Dental and bone abnormalities serve as indicators of environmental fluoride contamination.
    • Further research is needed to understand the long-term ecological effects of fluoride exposure on cervids.
