Document Summary:
This 2006 exposure investigation explores and reports on the presence of polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and Polychlorinated Byphenyls (PCBs) in fish at Northeast Cape. It was conducted in respoonse to residents' renewed interest in consuming fish after their populations increased in the area. The ATSDR found low levels of PAHs and PCBs in the fish samples, concluding that no adverse health outcomes were likely to result in consumption of the fish. However, they include additional information on individual exposure in case individuals coonsume more fish than the study considered.
