Layman's explanation:	PCBs were used as heat transfer and cooling units for electrical equipment. They have also been used in a number of products like rubber, paints, plastics, and insecticides. If the equipment leaks the PCB is put into the environment and will be found in animal tissue, causing brain damage. The chemical is very dangerous in water and is only stable in water for about 24 hours. This chemical is toxic and should not be inhaled, swallowed or touched. If this does occur, seek medical attention. Many countries have more control over the substance now that there are results of the environmental effects.
