WTRH-AM - Toxins found in whales bode ill for humans

I found this article on Yahoo! about the sperm whales getting intoxicated, this article should be important for anyone worried about toxic metals, etc. I even heard that the metals are going to contaminate seafood. :(

AGADIR, Morocco – Sperm whales feeding even in the most remote reaches of Earth's oceans have built up stunningly high levels of toxic and heavy metals, according to American scientists who say the
findings spell danger not only for marine life but for the millions of
humans who depend on seafood.

A report released Thursday noted high levels of cadmium, aluminum, chromium, lead, silver, mercury and titanium in tissue samples taken by dart gun from nearly 1,000 whales over five years. From
polar areas to equatorial waters, the whales ingested pollutants that
may have been produced by humans thousands of miles away, the
researchers said.

"These contaminants, I think, are threatening the human food supply. They certainly are threatening the whales and the other animals that live in the ocean," said biologist Roger Payne,
founder and president of Ocean Alliance, the research and conservation group that produced the report.
