Average excess lifetime cancer risk (ELCR) estimates associated with eating whole tissue (solid squares) or just tail meat (open circles) of crayfish. ELCRs are presented for crayfish collected at RM 7E (the McCormick and Baxter Superfund site), and in the rest of the greater Portland Harbor Superfund Megasite (PHSM), in the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon. The 2012 ELCR was estimated from PAH concentrations predicted from water concentrations, using the predictive model described in this study and shown in Figure 2. ELCRs for “whole tissue” assume the consumer eats both the viscera and tail tissue. ELCRs less than 1 in a million are not shown.
