PCBs are a probable human carcinogen. Studies of PCBs in humans have found increased rates of melanomas, liver cancer, gall bladder cancer, biliary tract cancer, gastrointestinal tract cancer, and brain cancer, [1] and may be linked to breast cancer. PCBs are known to cause a variety of types of cancer in rats, mice, and other study animals. [2].
PCBs are a class of chemicals that don't easily break down, even though they have been banned for over 30 years. These chemicals collect in fat and build up in fish that are fatty and in fish that eat other fish. As striped bass and bluefish migrate up and down the East Coast, they pick up PCBs from eating other fish.
