Squam Lake DES Warning

CONCORD, NH — The New Hampshire Department of Environmental Sciences is warning residents to eat less fish from Squam Lake after their team found several fish there had high levels of PCBs. PCBs, or polychlorinated biphenyls, are a carcinogen and have several other negative health effects.
Was very surprised to see this story.We have friends there and Squam lakers pride themselves on keeping the lake pristine.
Have no idea how this could have happened and hope they get to the bottom of it soon.
