On July 13, 2023, the N.C. Department of Health and Human Services (NCDHHS) issued an announcement of recommended eating limits for fish in North Carolina from the middle and lower Cape Fear River. The recommendation comes from concerns about exposure to perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) found in fish sampled from that area. The guidance is based on newly available data and information from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
