Irony is the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite typically for humerous or emphatic effect.
Irony is a figure of speech in which words are used in such a way that their intended meaning is different from the actual meaning of the words. It may also be a situation that ends up in quite a different way than what is generally anticipated. In simple words, it is a difference between appearance and reality.
The PCBs that whales, dolphins and porpoises absorb from their food end up being stored mainly in their fatty tissue (also known as blubber). The levels of PCBs in an animal’s blubber will build up over time as it consumes more and more contaminated fish. In times of stress, when for example food is scarce, whales, dolphins and porpoises tend to break down their stores of blubber to provide them with an energy supply. Breaking down blubber in this way releases a flood of toxic PCBs into an animal’s body, adding to the stress they are already experiencing.
