BMFi =Ciorganism / Cidiet Ciorganism = concentration of i in organism Cidiet = concentration of i in diet BMFi = biomagnification factor of chemical i

Molecules that can't broken down comulate at every level in the food chain
They become more concentrated through the proccess of biomagnification. :))
basic terms we are discussing here. Bioaccumulation refers to how pollutants enter a food chain; biomagnification refers to the tendency of pollutants to concentrate as they move from one trophic level to the next. Here are some definitions of these terms: Bioaccumulation: increase in concentration of a pollutant from the environment to the first organism in a food chain Biomagnification: increase in concentration of a pollutant from one link in a food chain to another
no
Biomagnification of pesticides basically means that the concentration of the substance exceeds what it should be. This makes the pesticide more powerful and harmful.
BMFi =Ciorganism / Cidiet Ciorganism = concentration of i in organism Cidiet = concentration of i in diet BMFi = biomagnification factor of chemical i
The easiest way to prevent biomagnification would be to cut down or better yet eliminate our pollutants so they cant transfer.
Biomagnification is the increase in pollutants from the environment from one consumer to the next. To avoid this, educate yourself on the diet and living conditions of the food you are eating.
The tendency of chemicals to become more concentrated as they move up the food chain is known
Decrease reliance on harmful pesticides.
by killing organisms
An example of biomagnification is the buildup of harmful pesticides, such as DDT, in the tissues of animals higher up the food chain, like birds or mammals. These chemicals accumulate in organisms as they consume contaminated prey or plants, leading to higher concentrations at the top of the food web.

The organisms that are harmed the most by biomagnification include algae and plankton. Because these organisms are eaten by fish and even mammals, those animals are harmed as well.
