A Guide to Your Health
Fish are nutritious, but some fish contain chemicals such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), chlordane and methyl mercury.These chemicals get into the water fish live in and the food they eat, and over time they can build up to levels that may cause healtheffects in people who eat the fish. It is important to keep exposure to these chemicals as low as possible. The Illinois fish advisoryhelps you plan what sport fish to eat as well as how often they can be eaten. The fish advisory is not intended to discourage youfrom eating fish, but should be used as a guide to eating fish that are low in contaminants.
