NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 13 (UPI) -- U.S. activists say seafood-testing procedures in the wake of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill need to be changed to reflect seafood consumption in the region.
A survey released by the National Resources Defense Council shows gulf residents consume far more seafood than the amounts used by the Food and Drug Administration, Environmental Protection Agency and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to determine the level of concern over potentially cancer-causing contaminants in seafood as a result of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, The New Orleans Times-Picayune reported Monday.
