Biomagnification and bioaccumulation are environmental processes where certain substances, often toxins, become concentrated in living organisms. In biomagnification, the concentration of these substances increases as they move up the food chain, with top predators accumulating the highest levels. Bioaccumulation involves the gradual buildup of substances within an organism over time, regardless of its position in the food chain. Both processes pose ecological and health risks, as they can lead to elevated levels of harmful substances in organisms, impacting ecosystems and potentially harming human health. This PowerPoint presentation throws light on the two topics, defining, explaining them as well as highlighting the relationship and the differences between the two.
