Good News: Contaminants Very Low in Alaska Fish
By Joyce A. Nettleton, DSc, RD.
**********************************
With every report on contaminants in fish, people wonder if it is safe
to eat fish. From 2001 to 2002, the state of Alaska, in cooperation
with other government agencies and fishing organizations, collected
over 600 samples of Alaska fish species for detailed chemical analysis.
These samples, analyzed with the most up-to-date methods, provide the
most reliable estimates of environmental contaminants in Alaska fish.
The analyses confirm that popular Alaska fish—salmon, cod, and
pollock—present negligible health risks from mercury and organic
contaminants such as PCBs and dioxins. These fish can safely be consumed
any time by people of all ages. The well recognized health benefits
of consuming fish regularly for heart health, infant development during
pregnancy and nursing, immune function, and other conditions far outweigh
potential risks from trace levels of contaminants.
