FRANKFORT - State officials are warning people to limit their intake of fish taken from some Kentucky waters.
The state health department is among government agencies who on Friday released a fish consumption advisory.
Officials say high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls, or PCBs, and mercury have been found in some species of fish.
Dr. William Hacker, the state's public health commissioner, says women who are pregnant or of childbearing age and small children may be susceptible to some of the contaminants.
Lake Cumberland, Guist Creek Lake in Shelby County and Fish Lake in Ballard County have been added to the state's advisory list because of higher mercury levels
