IDPH DROPS ‘DO NOT EAT’ ADVISORY FOR ILLINOIS RIVER FISH FOR FIRST TIME SINCE 1970S –

Illinois public health officials have dropped a “do not eat” advisory for sport fish in the Illinois River for the first time since the 1970s. The Illinois Department of Public Health relaxed the warning because concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs, have declined. (ABC 7)
