Fish Alert- Eating fish can cause cancer! Chemical found that does not end for thousands of years, shocking claim in American study

New Delhi: Non-vegetarian people are very fond of fish. Many types of nutrients are found in fish. From parties to picnics with friends, people’s favorite non-vegetarian food is fish. But a bad news has come about the fish eaters. In a recent research, it has been found that now fishes are also becoming poisonous. According to the news agency CNN, in a study by the American Environmental Agency, it was found that the water of America’s lakes and rivers has become so polluted that even the fish are becoming poisonous.

The study found that PFAS is being found in dangerous form in fish. This is called per-and-polyfluoroalkyl-substance. Which has been widely used since the 1950s to make products nonstick and resistant to stain, water and grease damage. These are man made chemicals. They are used in nonstick cookware, stain resistant clothing, cosmetics, and more. Its dangers have been told in many studies.

The matter of danger is that PFAS has also been found in the water sources which are away from factories or pollution-free areas. It is also called forever chemical, because it never ends. The study found that PFAS has seeped into the nation’s drinking water through public water systems and private wells. Experts say that the chemicals are now accumulating in the bodies of fish, shellfish, livestock, dairy animals that people eat. David Andrews, a senior scientist at the Environmental Working Group, a nonprofit environmental health organization that analyzed the data, said PFOS levels found in freshwater fish often exceed 8,000 parts per trillion. While the EPA has allowed only 70 parts per trillion of K in the nation’s drinking water.

that’s why it’s dangerous
Exposure to PFAS increases the risk of many diseases. This has a direct effect on hormonal potential. Its side effects include developmental deficiency in children, increased cholesterol levels and an increased risk of certain types of cancer. The major chemical found in fish, PFOS, and perfluorooctanoic acid, or PFOA, are known as “long-chain” PFAS, which are built from an 8-carbon chain. In a study conducted for more than 3 years in American river-lakes, it was found that this chemical is not in little but in very high quantity in living beings. It is found about 2400 times more in animals. It was told that if you eat even one serving of sea food, it is equivalent to drinking contaminated water full of bacteria for a month.
