Answer 1

Answer:

PCBs are very stable molecules

Explanation:

PCBs are approximately 209 compounds made of chlorine. PCBs are formed  synthetically.These compounds have high chemical and thermal stability so their chemical and biological physical degradation is very slow.

The years that these compounds can last are 2 weeks to 2 years in water, 6 years in the soil, and more than 10 years in fish.
