34 fjords on risk list


State health authorities have identified 34 fjords along the Norwegian coast that have had pollution levels high enough to make their fish and shellfish potentially dangerous for human consumption.
Most of the fjords lie innermost in bigger fjords and near industrial areas that have churned out some pollutants over the years. That in turn means that fish and shellfish from them may contain high levels of mercury.
