On another article in this series, a Michigan state biologist had this to say: The MDEQ Water Bureau has been analyzing fish regularly from several sites in the Great Lakes and inland waters since the early 90s. PCBs, DDT, & chlordane have been steadily declining over that period. The data suggest that toxaphene in fish has been declining as well. Mercury on the other hand has been slowly increasing in Great Lakes fish, but no real trends have been detected in inland waters.
