We summarize literature data on the concentrations of fluorine (F) in various tissues of terrestrial mammals and birds. The results of various studies indicate the usefulness of the determination of fluoride in hard tissues of wildlife for monitoring the environmental F contamination, as well as its role in the assessment of the effectiveness of measures taken to reduce F emissions, e.g., from industrial sources.
