Environmental pollutants such as PCB’s contaminate oceans and other aquatic systems.
Environmental pollutants such as PCB’s contaminate oceans and other aquatic systems. Plankton in the ocean become contaminated by PCB’s and pass this along through the food chain. A pregnant woman has been cautioned to limit her consumption of food that may be high in PCBs. If she consumes food from a nearby contaminated ocean, we would expect that the most contaminated foods would be:
(a) shrimp
(b) clams
(c) fish that eat shrimp
(d) kelp and other ocean plants
