| Not all of the 209 kinds of PCB have the same effects. Some
have properties like dioxin (one of the world's most toxic man-made compounds),
some PCBs act like hormones, and other PCBs are nerve poisons. We have
a mixture including all types in the Fox River and Green Bay.
PCBs alter major systems in the body (immune, hormone, nervous, and
enzyme systems); therefore, PCBs affect a wide variety of body organs and
functions.
Our PCB contamination is a public health crisis which has been ignored
far too long. |
