Risk of Consuming Contaminated Freshwater Fish

Risk of Consuming Contaminated Freshwater Fish

Eating one freshwater fish is as harmful as drinking contaminated water for a month

Washington: Eating one freshwater fish a year is equivalent to drinking water contaminated with 'forever chemicals' for a month, a new study has revealed.

Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl compounds (PFAs), known as “eternal chemicals,” are in many ways part of our daily lives, but these compounds have also been implicated in cancer and other health problems.

For the study, researchers from the Environmental Working Group (EWG) analyzed 500 meat samples from freshwater fish caught in freshwater tanks across the United States.
The analysis estimated that eating fish contaminated with these chemicals is equivalent to drinking water contaminated with PFE (48 parts per trillion) for one month.

The study found the average PFA amount in fish to be 9,500 nanograms/kg, but this increased to 11,800 nanograms/kg in fish caught in large lakes such as Superior, Michigan, and Haven.
This amount of PFA is 280 times greater than that found in fish caught and sold commercially.

According to Dr. David Andrews, EWG senior scientist and lead author of the study, freshwater fish eaters, especially those who regularly fish and eat fish, have dangerous levels of PFA in their diet. their body. Presence is scary.

Currently, PFE exists in about 12,000 forms with many uses, including firefighting foam, non-stick coating on frying pans, and textiles.

Review of Laal Singh Chaddha

M y morning going to the first showing of the Forrest Gump remake abso freaking lately. I did and the movie is just that it is an official remake of "FORREST GUMP" that not only did I see in theaters but it was on the rpx imax screen too it's got the beats you'd expect it to have to bookend with the feather force leg braces being a war hero being a runner all of that is there right down to some of the same shots and even the same lines sometimes word for word and then other times switched up a bit, so yeah while it's got a lot of the plot points you expect it to have it does have differences that make sense too.

BTS Review About - Young Forever

Despite being a recent discovery for me, both mini-albums in The Most Beautiful Moment In Life series, though not without their flaws, have quickly become some of my favorite K-Pop albums. because of this, a lot was riding on the new Young Forever special album as the concluding part of this, so far, excellent musical trilogy. Except Young Forever is not the third part of a trilogy, it strikes me as more of a summary. I had expected a simple repackage, tacking on a few new tracks as most idol groups do, but BTS has surprised me; offering a condensed version of the whole series on Disc 1 and a selection of bonus material on Disc 2. I wasn’t planning to discuss the older tracks here once again – as I’ve already devoted lengthy posts to both Part 1 and Part 2 of the Most Beautiful Moment In Life- but as the first disc takes the best cuts from these already released mini-albums, adds three new songs and mixes up the tracklist it’d be hard to discuss the new tracks out of this context, as c...
