Thus, more comprehensive advice can be developed to describe the multiple impacts of fish consumption.
Carpenter also questioned whether the touted benefits of fish consumption are enough to counterbalance the potential impacts of the contaminants (Bushkin-Bedient and Carpenter 2010).
Trends in patterns of fish consumption, if present, could be used to assess the impact of national fish advisories and Hg reduction programs.
This study suggests that better understanding of fish consumption patterns in pregnancy, ethnic variation, and public health impact is required, particularly in multiethnic states like Hawaii, to optimize health benefits of fish consumption while reducing risk.
Following the logic of Trasande et al. (2005), the impact of U.S. anthropogenic emissions is found by multiplying this $3 billion by the weighted sum of fish consumption affected by U.S. sources.
Changing the percent of fish consumption directly affected by global and domestic deposition does not affect the total monetized impact of anthropogenic emissions from all global sources.
In terms of fish consumption, all trends point upward.
Estimating the percent of fish consumption affected by domestic deposition using consumption patterns, as is done by the U.S. EPA, rather than using landings data, reduces Trasande's estimate of the impact of U.S. sources on fish consumption by 46%.
Defining scenarios of fish consumption guideline compliance.
