The study conducted by the MRPHP team concluded that sport fishers from the Montreal area who consume their catch from the St. Lawrence River do not have dangerous levels of toxic chemicals in their bodies. While the general perception that the River and its fish pose health risks persists, the study findings indicated that even high-level consumers did not show excessive levels of chemical contamination. Given these findings, the MRPHP research team questions the need for official recommendations limiting sport fish consumption. Researchers stressed, however, that this assertion depends on continued environmental monitoring and on the effective surveillance of sport fish consumption. |
