| Description | In the fall of 2006, fish from the Similkameen River and Palmer Lake were analyzed for several forms of arsenic. Inorganic arsenic was not detected. Less than half of the samples had detections of total arsenic and organic arsenic. Total arsenic was found to be slightly higher than Washington State and national average concentrations for total arsenic in freshwater fish. The Washington State Department of Health reviewed the results of the study and concluded that there is no risk to human health based on the consumption of inorganic arsenic in fish from the lower Similkameen River and Palmer Lake. |
