Description Since toxic chemicals are found in fish and shellfish, our state is continuing to work on this problem by developing a more accurate view of how much fish and shellfish Washington residents eat. Washington uses fish consumption rates as a basis for environmental cleanup and pollution control. Eating contaminated food is a primary exposure pathway to toxics in the environment. New scientific and regulatory developments over the past 20 years mean updates are needed.
