Norwich, England (Know Cancer): As per the latest British reports, scientists link high cancer levels found in Norwich’s estuary fish with pollutants and cancer in humans. Scientists discovered that a quarter of fish that they took from open sea and industrial estuaries have liver tumor. They might be a result of contact with chemicals such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and heavy metals.

During the Thursday presentation at the Festival of Science in Norwich, Grant Stentiford of the Center for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science in Weymouth stated “Higher levels of cancer and other diseases were found in fish taken from estuaries with the highest levels of pollutants. The big question is, is the cancer we’re seeing in fish the same as what we see in humans?”
