Impact of environmental factors on the appearance and distribution of dental fluorosis in roe deer (Capreolus capreolus L.) in eastern Slovenia.

摘要: Increased concentrations of fluorides in the environment have a negative impact on different animal species, which are manifested mainly with irregular formation dental hard tissue, called fluorosis. With assessment fluorosis every adult roe deer shot eastern Slovenia 10 Hunting Management Districts 2007 (n = 7,158), implementation statistical analyses in raster GIS high resolution (1x1 km) and cartography, we wished to: (i) establish differences appearance and distribution from areas Slovenia; (ii) define main sources of fluorides fluorosis; (iii) determine most important environmental factors that an impact In general, is not polluted fluorides, while less than 1% samples showed moderate to severe 84% samples showed no at all. Only vicinity source of (aluminium smelter), there an area extreme fluoride pollution environment. The multivariate statistics revealed influenced primarily by: distance most important point source – (94.6% total variance); age analysed (5% distance nearest forest edge (0.7% variance), respectively
