Al-Marsad newspaper: Experts warn that eating a lot of fish may increase the risk of exposure to “toxic chemicals forever.”
These chemicals, known as fluorescent surfactants or PFAS, have previously been linked to cancer and suppression of the immune system. And at home, they are used in non-stick cooking equipment such as pots and pans.
But researchers in the US have now said that these chemicals have also been found in fish caught in lakes and rivers.
Fluorescent surfactants are also linked to increased cholesterol, reproductive and growth problems, and other health harms.
