| polychlorinated biphenyls |
A group of toxic, carcinogenic organic compounds containing more than one chlorine atom.

They behave much like DDT in the environment in that they are very stable compounds and are also fat-soluble; therefore, they accumulate in ever-higher concentrations as they move up the food chain. The use of PCB's was banned in the United States in 1979.
