> After Chernobyl you still today cannot eat fish from the lakes and rivers in 1000+ km radius from the site by Finnish recommendations.
Limit your eating of pike, but otherwise no major objections:
> Children, young people and persons of fertile age may not eat pike caught in a lake or in the sea more often than once or twice a month.
> Dioxin and PCB levels in fish from inland waters are normally low, and mercury levels are lower in other lake fish than in pike. The mercury and cesium-137 levels of fish vary from one lake to the other.

- mah4k4l 4y agoOk yes my bad forgot to post the limits. At least used to be lake fish two times in week tops.
- mjhay 4y agoIt is not recommended to eat the fish from the river where I live more than twice a month. That's just standard historic mining pollution. Coal poisons the water far worse, both from mining, air pollution, and coal ash. It even emits far more radiation than nuclear power.
