PCBs \/ Los PCBs<\/strong><\/p>\n

What are PCBs?<\/strong><\/p>\n

PCBs are a family of complex chemical compounds that were used historically as lubricants, hydraulic fluids, fire retardants and as a component of carbonless copy paper.\u00a0 Production and use of PCBs in the U.S. was banned in 1979, and total PCB concentrations in fish and wildlife have declined.\u00a0 PCBs still remain a problem in some areas of the country.<\/p>\n

\u00bfQu\u00e9 son los PCBs?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Los PCBs son una familia de qu\u00edmicos complejos compuestos que fueron utilizados hist\u00f3ricamente como lubricantes, flu\u00eddos hidr\u00e1ulicos, retardantes de fuego y como componentes del papel de copia. La producci\u00f3n y el uso de los PCBs en los Estados Unidos fue prohibido en al a\u00f1o 1979 y desde entonces el total de concentraci\u00f3n de PCB en los peces y otra vida salvaje ha disminuido. Sin embargo, los PCBs todav\u00eda existen como problema en algunas \u00e1reas del pa\u00eds.<\/p>\n

Why should I be concerned about PCBs?<\/strong><\/p>\n

PCBs have been linked to a variety of human health concerns including cancer and birth defects.\u00a0 Developing fetuses and young children are most vulnerable to the effects of PCBs.\u00a0 Therefore, children and women who may become pregnant, are pregnant or are nursing should limit their intake of PCBs.\u00a0 In addition, people who consume large amounts of Great lakes fish are most likely to have high levels of PCB contamination.<\/p>\n

\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 debo preocuparme por los PCBs?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Los PCBs han sido relacionados a una variedad de problemas de salud en los seres humanos, incluyendo c\u00e1ncer y defectos de nacimiento. Los fetos en desarrollo y los ni\u00f1os peque\u00f1os son los m\u00e1s vulnerables a los efectos de los PCBs. Esto quiere decir que los ni\u00f1os y las mujeres que puedan quedar embarazadas, que est\u00e1n embarazadas, o que est\u00e1n dando de lactar deben limitar su consumo de PCBs. Adem\u00e1s, la gente que consume grandes cantidades de pescado proveniente de los Grandes Lagos est\u00e1 m\u00e1s predispuesta a tener altos niveles de contaminaci\u00f3n de PCB.<\/p>\n

How can I minimize my risk of consuming contaminated fish?<\/strong><\/p>\n

By making informed decisions about what types of fish you eat, where you fish, and how frequently you consume the fish you catch, you can minimize your risk of consuming contaminated fish.\u00a0 Each Great Lakes state produces fish consumption advisories to guide you in making these decisions.\u00a0 These advisories are available at bait shops, by phone or on the internet.<\/p>\n

\u00bfC\u00f3mo puedo disminuir los riesgos de consumir pescado contaminado?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Usted puede disminuir los reisgos de consumir pescado contaminado tomando decisiones sabias sobre los tipos de pescado que consume, d\u00f3nde pesca, y cu\u00e1n frecuentemente consume el pescado que pesca.\u00a0 Cada uno de los estados alrededor de los Grandes Lagos produce folletos para guiarle al tomar sus decisiones de consumo.\u00a0 Estos folletos est\u00e1n disponibles en tiendas de pesca, por tel\u00e9fono o la internet.<\/p>\n
