Biomagnification, also known as bioamplification or biological magnification, is the increase in concentration of a substance, e.g a pesticide, in the...

Toxicity induced by metals is associated with bioaccumulation and biomagnification. Storage or uptake of a metal faster than it is metabolized and excreted...

negative effects on the seed health. As seen in Figure 4, food web biomagnification refers to the process by which concentrations of contaminants increase...

eagles, like many birds of prey, were especially affected by DDT due to biomagnification. DDT itself was not lethal to the adult bird, but it interfered with...

Tubifex worms acts as a significant risk for trophic transfer and biomagnification of microplastics up the aquatic food chain. The worms can survive with...

PBTs have been observed to have a high order of bioaccumulation and biomagnification, very long retention times in various media, and widespread distribution...

human health, as consumption of tainted food (in processes called biomagnification and bioaccumulation) has been linked to issues such as cancers, neurological...

Mirex is an organochloride that was commercialized as an insecticide and later banned because of its impact on the environment. This white crystalline...

Biomagnification is the build up of toxins in a food chain. The DDT concentration is in parts per million. As the trophic level increases in a food chain...

looked at in the perspective of the entire food web, it is called biomagnification, which is important to track because lower concentrations of pollutants...
