Fish Consumption Advisory

Fish consumption advisories provide valuable information on the protection of human health from contaminated fish consumption, yet are rarely conducted comprehensively nor communicated widely. Environmental policies that fail to adequately develop and implement fish consumption advisory programs are largely to blame. This policy analysis delves into the strengths and weaknesses of current fish consumption advisory programs in the United States and Canada. To compare between these countries, fish consumption advisory programs were broadly described across all 50 US states and 13 Canadian provinces/territories. Two case studies were chosen to provide a more detailed look into the complexities of fish consumption advisory programs (Arizona and Nova Scotia). It is apparent from this research that fish consumption advisory programs and policies do not comprehensively address human health and environmental justice concerns in either country suggesting policy changes are necessary. Opportunities for and barriers to regulatory change in both countries were identified, and suggestions on sharing strong policies were provided. Finally, international frameworks aimed at improving fish consumption advisory programs were explored, mainly those used by the European Union. Environmental justice and human health concerns will only increase given changing environments and emerging toxicological issues; therefore, increased focus on fish consumption advisory programs is warranted. This focus should consider policy change in particular because it can codify human health and environmental justice protections upon which stronger fish consumption advisory programs can be built.

The hypothesis that the concentrations of pollutants are the same throughout the length of the Niagara River, against the alternative that they are higher in the lower river, was examined using three sets of data: (1) Ontario Ministry of Environment's (MOE) results for organic substances in raw drinking water (1978–84); (2) MOE transect data for metals in water (1981); (3) Environment Canada data on organic substances in large-volume water samples and suspended sediments (1981). The designs of the studies dictated different statistical procedures for each set, with nonparametric procedures based on ranking being used for sets 1 and 3, and normal theory methods for set 2. Further, both univariate and multivariate procedures were used for set 3. Despite the considerable number of nondetections in these data, it was still possible to make quantitative comparative statements, with the degree of uncertainty providing the quantitative component. In each study, a number of substances were shown to be higher in the lower river than in the upper river, and by examining all substances of set 3 simultaneously, locations in the lower river were shown to be similar to each other as were locations in the upper river.
