PCBs still found in fat-rich fish near Spain; Consumption linked to increased risk of cancer in males

13 abril 2015

Scientists have demonstrated that the exposure to a chemical pollutant called PCB-153 is positively associated to the risk of suffering from cancer in males. This agent, which has been banned in Spain since the 1980s, can still be found in some fat-rich food, such as large fat-rich fish (tuna, salmon, swordfish, among others), since it is highly resistant to degradation.
