Document Title: Health Consultation for Review of Fish Samples from Suqitughneq River
Agency/Organization: ATSDR, USACE

Document Summary:
This document presents ATSDR's analysis of whether fish in Suqitugneq River are safe to eat. ATSDR reviewed fish sampling data from 1999 and found that the presence of relatively low levels of PCBs and PAHs mean they can't determine if the fish are safe to eat. However, they do recommend additional fish sampling and studies. They also recommend that residents refrain from eating the fish, but that if they must, they should take specific protocols to mitigate possible harmful exposure.
