> After Chernobyl you still today cannot eat fish from the lakes and rivers in 1000+ km radius from the site by Finnish recommendations.

Limit your eating of pike, but otherwise no major objections:

> Children, young people and persons of fertile age may not eat pike caught in a lake or in the sea more often than once or twice a month.

> Dioxin and PCB levels in fish from inland waters are normally low, and mercury levels are lower in other lake fish than in pike. The mercury and cesium-137 levels of fish vary from one lake to the other.

Ok yes my bad forgot to post the limits. At least used to be lake fish two times in week tops.

It is not recommended to eat the fish from the river where I live more than twice a month. That's just standard historic mining pollution.

Coal poisons the water far worse, both from mining, air pollution, and coal ash. It even emits far more radiation than nuclear power.

Not to mention mercury, which is forever.

Fish are not safe to eat in the entirety of Poland? Haha this is news to me.

Finland. In Finland. According to Finnish authorities. Countries with East Block histories like Poland tend to not care as much what the actual science of the stuff is. Nor does the Nuclear Is Clean - crowd is seems. "Everything radiates; just look at the bonfire, it's radiation". Yeah, right.

That's a ridiculous generalization about E. block countries.

Perhaps you should become a bit more informed before spouting nonsense like this.
