The toxins that might be present in your tuna are mercury, PCBs, and dioxins. The original source of these toxins is pollution and industrial waste that is released into the environment. This pollution then enters the ocean, where it is absorbed by the tuna fish. The environmental and health effects of consuming these toxins can include neurological damage, endocrine disruption, and a weakened immune system. In pregnant women, mercury exposure can cause impaired cognitive development in a baby. Additionally, PCBs and nitrites can cause cancer, reproductive and developmental disorders, and hormone disruption.
