Benz [a] anthracene alone is not regulated however, all polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons or volatile coal tar products together are regulated. The World Health Organization has established 0.2 pgH as the limit for aromatic hydrocarbons in a domestic water supply. The US Occupational Safety and Health Administration limit in workplace air (coal tar volatiles) is 0.2 mg m The US Environmental Protection Agency weight-of-evidence classification for benz [a] anthracene is B2, a probable human carcinogen, for both oral and inhalation exposure based on adequate animal evidence and no human evidence.

In addition to fish farming, which is a relatively recent phenomenon, hydroelectric power dependent chemical industry has been using fjords as recipient for waste for more than 50 years, particularly in Scandinavia and Canada. Smelters located at the head of fjords have contaminated water, sediments, and organisms with polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and heavy metals (Naes etal., 1995). The level of contamination in fish and shellfish exceeds safety levels established by the World Health Organization in 15 fjord locations in Norway, and their use for human consumption has been restricted. These... [Pg.68]
