Article Synopsis
- Field surveys were conducted on oysters, clams, and scallops to assess bioaccumulation of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in Japan's shellfish.
- There were no significant differences in bioaccumulation between these shellfish and other species like Corbicula and Mytilus galloprovincialis, indicating monitoring them can help understand risks in food-important shellfish.
- The study found low cancer and non-cancer risks from POP exposure through shellfish consumption, but highlighted the need for monitoring dieldrin due to other food intake risks, suggesting a primary risk assessment approach for chemicals requiring closer observation.
