In addition, estimates were made of human health risks for those pollutants studied for which cancer potency factors and/or reference doses have been established. Human health risks were not estimated for dioxins and furans since the potency of these pollutants is the subject of an EPA review.bioaccumulationindicator speciesreport literaturedocumentschemical analysisbioaccumulationfisheseffect of chemicals onwaterpollutionwater pollutionBook
