Consumption of Lake Ontario sport fish and the incidence of colorectal cancer in the New York State Angler Cohort Study (NYSACS)
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "Environmental Research"
DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2016.12.029
Abstract: &NA; Fish consumption is hypothesized to reduce the risk of colorectal cancer. Nonetheless, consuming sport fish from the Great Lakes increases exposure to certain persistent organic pollutants, namely polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and organochlorine insecticides, which… read more here.
