"The committee believes there is little probability that any action that can be taken will prevent the growing incrimination of specific polychlorinated biphenyls (the higher chlorinated-e.g. Aroclors 1254 and 1260) as nearly global environmental contaminants leading to contamination of human food (particularly fish), the killing of some marine species (shrimp), and the possible extinction of several species of fish eating birds."   chemicalindustryarchives.org;    chemicalindustryarchives.org/dirtysecrets/

Dying from DIOXIN: The health impacts of dioxin - Greenpeace

The first evidence of POPs related injury to wildlife was discovered in North America in the 1960s where the population of peregrine falcons was found to be declining due to pesticide contamination. Subsequently, a growing body of evidence has implicated POPs in causing a variety of health effects on life, particularly in predator species at the top of the food chain. These effects included greenpeace.org.nz
