Biomagnification, also known as bioamplificationor biological magnification, is the increase in concentration of a substance that occurs in a food chain as a consequence of:

  • Persistence (can't be broken down by environmental processes)
  • Food chain energetics
  • Low (or nonexistent) rate of internal degradation/excretion of the substance (often due to water-insolubility)
