Researchers show how PCBs may alter in utero, neonatal brain development

As if we needed any more scientific data to prove how bad PCBs are for our youth, this report comes out detailing how PCBs alter the development of brain cells. A quote from one of the researchers:

"With these studies we have now shown - from the whole animal level to the molecular level - how PCBs alter the development and excitability of brain cells. And that could explain why PCBs are associated with higher rates of neurodevelopmental and behavioral disorders," said Pessah, who is also a researcher with the UC Davis M.I.N.D. Institute.

The science is clear - PCBs are bad for all people but especially for children.
