Net health effects of fish consumption D↷
Purpose
Net health effects of fish consumption due to intake of beneficial nutrients and constituents and on the other hand, exposure to environmental contaminants taken up by fish.
Boundaries
- Environmental contaminants relevant from the human health point of view and thus included in the assessment are:
- PCDD/Fs
- PCBs
- Hg (as MetHg)
- Nutritional constituents relevant from the human health point of view include a wide variety of effects and can be viewed from Benefit-risk assessment of fish and related policy options under title "Health consequences attributable to fish consumption". However, readily usable beneficial constituents with quantitative dose-response information available included in the asessment at the moment are:
- fish oils
- omega-3 PUFAs (omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids)
- European subpopulations included in the assessment:
- Finland
- Ireland
- Spain
- Denmark
- Current situation (BAU)
Scenarios
BAU-type assessment (business-as-usual assessment), i.e. a burden-of-disease assessment with only one decision scenario. D↷
Intended users
Experts, researchers and decision makers in the field of environmental health, anyone interested and concerned with beneficial and hazardous constituents in fish species in the markets.
Participants
