Relationship between fluoride content in bones and the age in European elk (Alces alces L.).
The relation between fluoride content in bones (jaws) and the age of elks living in Poland in areas of relatively low pollution by industrial emissions was studied. Multiple regression analysis was performed by making use of 11 mathematical models. The relationship between fluoride content in bones and the animals age is best described by square root and linear models.
