Abstract
The fluoride content of 147 pieces of vertebral cancellous bone, collected at autopsy from long-term residents in Basle, Switzerland, was determined. A statistical analysis of the results sustained the hypothesis of age-dependent fluoride accumulation in bone. No differences were found between sexes. 4 cases with severe chronic pyelonephritis had definitely elevated fluoride values.
