The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, alongside Colorado Parks and Wildlife, has issued a warning advising residents to limit their consumption of locally caught fish from several popular lakes. This advisory comes in response to alarming findings of elevated levels of PFAS, commonly referred to as "forever chemicals," in fish from these waters.
PFAS are synthetic chemicals that have been linked to various health issues, including cancer, liver damage, and immune system effects. They are termed "forever chemicals" because they do not break down easily in the environment or the human body. The presence of these substances in fish poses a significant risk to those who consume them regularly.
Officials are urging anglers and fish enthusiasts to be cautious and to follow specific consumption guidelines to mitigate potential health risks. The warning highlights the importance of awareness regarding the safety of local fish and the need for ongoing monitoring of water quality in these beloved recreational areas.
