Cancer in beluga from the St. Lawrence estuary

Mike O Hammill et al. Environ Health Perspect. 2003 Feb.

Abstract

Martineau et al. (2002) reported that St. Lawrence beluga (SLB) have high cancer rates. Unfortunately, errors in their interpretation of the data have led them to overstate the importance of cancer and its links to environmental sources.
