Abstract
One hundred and eighty five primary teeth were in 1989–90 collected by local dentists from six different areas in Hungary. The teeth were analyzed for lead, cadmium, mercury and zinc. Both rural, industrialized and urban areas were represented. It was found that the city of Veszprem had significantly higher tooth lead levels than the other areas investigated, including the capital. Two areas had significantly higher tooth‐mercury levels than the other areas, but were just represented by four and six primary teeth, respectively. No area had significantly different cadmium or zinc levels than the other areas investigated. Further study of lead levels in primary teeth from Hungary is suggested.
