Many fish species can absorb contaminants from water, sediments, and the food they eat. Eating fish from contaminated areas may expose humans to substances that can harm their health. Funded by SRP, researchers across the U.S. are working to understand the many sources of pollution exposure and identify solutions to protect public health. Scientists are also teaming up with residents to create community-engaged research projects that address fish consumers’ concerns, and then communicate their findings and recommendations in ways that speak to the culture of each community.
