Define biological magnification and explain why humans are often more severely affected?
Biological magnification: the process by which pollutants become more concentrated in successive trophic levels of a food web (accumulation of pollutants in fatty tissues of a predator) Humans are often more severely affected than earlier trophic levels due to biological magnification. The ppm (parts per million) is the unit of measurement for concentration of chemicals like pollutants and augment to a degenerative degree in higher trophic levels. Humans are consumers and higher in the food web, thus subject to the malicious effects of biological magnification of toxins.
What causes excessively high levels of toxic chemicals in fish-eating birds?
(c) biological magnification
What is the biological process in which decomposers are unable to break down industrial wastes and the wastes become more concentrated as they move through the food chain called?
magnification
What are solutions to biological magnification pesticides?
There are several solutions to addressing biological magnification of pesticides. One approach is to encourage organic farming practices, which avoid the use of synthetic pesticides altogether. Additionally, implementing integrated pest management strategies can help reduce reliance on chemical pesticides by utilizing alternative methods such as crop rotation, natural predators, and mechanical pest control. Finally, strict regulation and monitoring of pesticide use can help prevent excessive accumulation of toxic compounds in the environment.
When biological magnification occurs in a community one expects chemical concentration in the tissues of lower trophic levels such as grasses to be what the chemical concentration?

Give an example showing how pollution relates to biological magnification?
DDT is a prime example. It affected Gerbes (a water bird), who ingested fish contianing the toxins after they ate midges.
What are the rules for a biological drawing IN MAGNIFICATION?
i ont know
What are the biological indicators for air pollution?
biological indicator of air pollution is lichene. it is a best example of air pollution indicator.
What are biological and environmental impacts of colloids?
The biological and environmental impact of colloids is that they cause pollution to the environment. They cause both the water and soil pollution.
How has water pollution been reduced?
it hasn't because one thing people try but then there are so many of the people who keep polluting it just stops helping so if we want to stop it we all have to get involved by helping
What type of organism is likely to suffer the most from the effects of biological magnification is?
tertiary consumer

What can people do to solve the problem of biomagnification?
we can solve the concentration of biological magnification if produce less DDT
Peregrine falcons and other birds suffer from increased concentrations of toxins in a process know as?
Biological Magnification
