A new study recommends people limit their consumption of farmed salmon, which have higher levels of PCBs, dioxin and other cancer-causing contaminants than wild salmon.

Researchers said the amount of toxins in farmed salmon was below the levels set by the federal government. But they said intake of farmed salmon should be limited to one meal or less per month.

The study, funded by the Pew Charitable Trust, was published in yesterday's issue of Science.
