Production of pcbs was discontinued in 1977, yet pcbs are still found in the environment. the reason for this is pcbs are very reactive molecules. pcbs are very stable molecules. pcbs are imported from other countries where their production is not banned. pcbs are formed naturally by plants

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.

Heat waves can be dangerous, causing illnesses such as heat cramps and heat stroke, or even death. Warmer temperatures can also lead to a chain reaction of other changes around the world. That's because increasing air temperature also affects the oceans, weather patterns, snow and ice, and plants and animals.
