Document Title: Polyaromatic Hydrocarbons and Polychlorinated Byphenyls in Fish from the Suqutighneq River
Agency/Organization: USACE, ATSDR

Document Summary:
This 2005 exposure investigation explores and reports on the presence of polychlorenated byphenyls (PCBs) and polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in fish at Northeast Cape. The investigation is in response to local communities' renewed interest in consuming fish after they began to return to the Northeast Cape site.The levels of both contaminants in fish at Northeast Cape were low, and ATSDR concluded that no adverse health outcomes are likely to result from ingestion. However, they include additional information on individual exposure in case individuals consume more fish than the study considered.
