Going to buy fish today? If you are living in India\u2019s West Bengal<\/a> state, where fish is a daily staple for millions of people whether rich or poor, beware! More than one study has pointed to the alarming levels of mercury in fish, way above permissible limits and posing a grave danger to health.<\/p>\n

And no matter how much you crave them, avoid katla (Catla catla<\/em>), bhetki (Lates calcarifer<\/em>), chital (Chitala chitala<\/em>), pabda (Ompok pabda<\/em>) and tangra (Mystus aor<\/em>) fish, whether they are steamed or fried, dry or in a curry. In the state capital Kolkata\u2019s popular Gariahat market, for instance, samples of katla, chital and pabda fish showed that mercury concentration was twice as high as prescribed standards.<\/p>\n

This has been known for years, as have the dangers<\/a> of mercury exposure, such as neurological disorders and impaired IQ levels. But there has been little action.<\/p>\n

Six years ago, in 2009, two NGOs, Toxics Link<\/a> (New Delhi) and Disha<\/a> (Kolkata), studied 60 samples of fish and various varieties of crabs from markets across Kolkata and 204 samples from the Ganga at Farakka, Damodar and Jharkali in the state as well as from water bodies of the East Kolkata Wetlands. The results<\/a> were alarming. The percentage of methyl mercury in the samples was found to be 70-500% higher than the limit set by the Joint Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)\/World Health Organization (WHO) expert committee on food additives and the Prevention of Food Adulteration Act and Rules, 1954.<\/p>\n

The joint FAO-WHO committee recommended that the methyl mercury Provisional Tolerable Weekly Intake (PTWI) be taken as the standard: 1.6 \u03bcg\/kg (microgram per kilogram) of body weight of an individual per week or 0.228571 \u03bcg\/kg of body weight\/day.<\/p>\n

Applying the WHO-FAO criterion, among children of 25 kg, the study found that for 105 samples, PTWI exceeded by more than 100% and for 54 samples by over 200%. Among adults of 60 kg, PTWI exceeded in 155 samples \u2013 for 80 samples, by over 100% and for 37 samples by over 200%.<\/p>\n

Which meant that a child weighing 20 kg who ate fish bought in Gariahat market consumed 199.38% more methyl mercury than the tolerance level while an adult weighing 60 kg consumed 149.48% more methyl mercury than the tolerance level.<\/p>\n

In 2012, another study<\/a> based on samples collected from the Ganga in West Bengal by M. Pal, S. Ghosh, M. Mukhopadhyay and M. Ghosh of the University College of Science & Technology, University of Calcutta, found a strong positive correlation between mercury levels in muscle with food habits and fish length (age). Contamination in katla, mottled eel (Anguilla bengalensis bengalensis<\/em>), chital, rita (Rita rita<\/em>) and pabda was above the 0.25 \u03bcg Hg\/g of wet weight, the limit set by the PFA for the maximum level for consumption of fish exposed to methyl mercury. In bhetki and tangra, the levels were threatening.<\/p>\n

The 2009 study by Toxics Link and Disha was given to the West Bengal Pollution Control Board<\/a> (WBPCB). Six years on, no local level remediation programme has been initiated. In 2010, as a response to the study, Biswajit Mukherjee, senior law officer, WBPCB, had said the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) had set 2012 as deadline for two factories \u2013 Durgapur Chemicals and Hindustan Heavy Chemicals \u2013 to replace mercury or treat the chemical waste they release. The official has changed but the answer remains the same. The factories continue to spew poison into the water. Recently, when thethirdpole.net asked WBPCB chairman Kalyan Rudra about any initiative by the board to check mercury contamination in the state, he said he would check previous reports and find out.<\/p>\n

A copy of the study was also sent to the United Nation Environment Programme (UNEP). In 2013, more than 140 nations agreed to a treaty to limit mercury emissions and releases. The Minamata Convention<\/a>\u2014 named after Minamata city that witnessed one of the worst incidents of industrial poisoning by mercury, which killed hundreds and disabled thousands of people in the 1950s and 60s \u2014required its signatory nations to phase out the use of mercury in certain types of batteries, fluorescent lamps, and soaps and cosmetics by 2020. India signed the treaty in 2014, a year after the adoption of the Convention.<\/p>\n

Hazards of mercury<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fish absorb methyl mercury from water as it passes over the gills and they feed on aquatic organisms. Cooking does not reduce the methyl mercury content of the fish.<\/p>\n

\u201cMercury can cause manic depressive tendencies and irritation, among other ailments. It affects brain, nervous system and most importantly the womb. Babies with less body weight are most vulnerable to its ill effects and can be born with physical and mental disorder,\u201d said Shantanu Chakraborty of Disha who conducted the study with Toxic Link\u2019s Abhay Kumar. The FDA recommends that women who are pregnant, or may become pregnant, should avoid fish that may contain unsafe levels of methyl mercury.<\/p>\n

The problem gets worse since many local doctors do not know that environmental pollutants can cause such diseases. \u201cIf there is an ailment because of mercury, doctors would give symptomatic treatment to the patient. Presence of mercury in body can be detected by conducting hair or blood test. But I have rarely come across anybody who has undergone such a test. But, we have thousands of babies born with mental disorder and people with neurological problem nowadays,\u201d said Chakraborty.<\/p>\n

Mercury can also bring down IQ-level in children. \u201cThe government of India has no policy for diagnostic and therapy of ailments caused by environmental pollution. We had conducted the study only in West Bengal, but the contamination may be much higher in other states if studied,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Why West Bengal<\/strong><\/p>\n

As part of the Ganga<\/a> delta, West Bengal gets not only the contaminants from its own factories, but also from those upstream. Uttar Pradesh has 687 factories categorized as grossly polluting industries (GPI) by the CPCB. Mostly tanneries, sugar mills, paper mills and chemical industries, they spew 270 mld (million litres per day) of untreated wastewater into the Ganga. Water pollution in the states between Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal \u2013 Bihar and Jharkhand \u2013 is just as bad.<\/p>\n

Rudra says fresh water dilutes the contaminants regularly. \u201cIt is unlikely that mercury has reached critical level because in West Bengal influx of sea tide dilutes the contamination in the rivers in the southern part of the state.\u201d The studies show otherwise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
