[quote Springbuck] If you're worried about cancer, leave the Salt Lake valley, and most of the other major valleys in Utah,and stay away all winter. The inversions will do you in long before a few bites of white bass will.
I work in the largest ER in Utah, and nobody has ever come in with Utah Lake poisoning; acute, chronic, or neoplastic.[][/quote]
Hi Springbuck. I'm not "worried about cancer" but I won't deliberately expose myself to known health risks, if I can do anything about it. And it's not just cancer. Here's the fact sheet about PCBs, if you're interested. [url "http://www.fishadvisories.utah.gov/docs/PCBs_FAQ_ATSDR.pdf"]http://www.fishadvisories.utah.gov/docs/PCBs_FAQ_ATSDR.pdf[/url]
I can't avoid inversions, but I sure can avoid smoking, eating fish known to be contaminated, and so forth.
Thanks for the thoughts.
