Illinois officials: ‘Do not eat’ these fish from these 10 bodies of water in the state 
By Chip Brewster US Source: centralillinoisproud 4/28/2023

While the Illinois Department of Public Health has had a statewide fish consumption warning in place for decades, there are 10 locations with specific fish they caution should not be eaten by anyone.
 

The primary cause of the “do not eat” advisories are Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs). PCBs are a group of more than 200 man-made chemicals. Though PCBs were banned in the 1970s because of their ill effects on health, they were so widely used they continue to persist in the environment, according to the IDPH website.
