The Who, What, Where, When, Why N' How of PCB's

PCB's, what are they?
PCB's are Poly-Chlorinated Bipheyles - a toxic chemical in the form of a heavy, oily sustance that sinks to the bottom of the water. General Electric Company is the number one fan of PCB'S. They are responsable for dumping 1.3 million pounds of PCB'S into the Hudson River between the years of 1947 and 1977. General Electric Company no longer dumps PCB'S into the Hudson River, but they still have not made a little bit of effort to a least clean it up. Because of this many fish have been contaminated with the PCB's and fisherman have caught the fish and sold them to the public.
