Purpose	The Customer Services Division (CSD) of the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ) performed a study to determine the safety of consuming fish caught in Oklahoma waters affected by runoff from the Tri-State Mining Area and the Tar Creek Superfund Site. Responding to concerns by local residents and tribes, this study was designed to determine levels of metals in fish tissue that would be harmful to human health if consumed in excess amounts. Local tribes from the Tar Creek area indicated traditional customs involve eating whole fish, including bones, which have been canned by means of pressure cooking. Since metals are known to accumulate in the bones and organs of fish, there was a concern that these traditional methods of preparation would be unsafe. Local tribes advised ODEQ they believed fish consumption rates were higher among tribal members than among the general public.; This study evaluates the potential human health effects associated with the ingestion of fish from the Tri-State Mining Area in Oklahoma. In addition, an evaluation of possible relationships between metals concentrations in fish tissue and metals concentrations in water and sediment was done.
