PCBs. Nasty stuff. Some towns used to spray PCB contaminated waste oil on dirt roads for dust control. The PCBs got into the groundwater and were pumped out by domestic wells and drank. The result was extremely high cancer rates and developmental and birth defects. My dad recently had a cousin die of cancer. The man was only in his 50s, and my dad remarked that a lot of his relatives got cancer at a young age and was worried it ran in the family. They all live in small towns in rural Alabama and depend upon their own wells for drinking water. I suspect the cancer rates have to do with a pollutant that leached into the groundwater rather than genetics. PCBs, Nitrates, TCE... all nasty stuff. It's probably best the transformers were ripped out of the GG1s to render them inoperable.
