Chromium concentrations detected in shrimp, but not oysters and crabs, from
Shipyard Creek, are a public
health hazard; therefore, there may exist a potential health threat after
human consumption of the contaminated shrimp on a frequent basis.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Prevent human consumption of shrimp from Shipyard Creek.
