Decades-old toxic chemicals are melting out of Himalayas now
News
13 Aug 2019 | The Weather Channel
The Himalayas, which feed numerous perennial rivers of South Asia with pristine water, have now become a source of toxic chemicals too! Despite being far away from the actual source of pollution, glaciers often act as cold storage units for many persistent toxic chemicals. But once the ice starts to melt, the toxic pollutants are released back into the environment.

A review of human exposure to PFAS: substantial contribution from seafood
Science
30 Nov 1925 | Environ Health Prev Med
In Japan, rivers contaminated by industrial PFAS discharges have led to high levels of long-chain PFAS in seafood such as cod, clams, and shrimp, and because seafood is a dietary staple, this pathway now accounts for the majority of human PFAS intake and explains the higher blood concentrations observed in the Japanese population compared to other countries.
