Answers
Answer:
The farmers use DDT (dichloro diphenyl trichloro ethane) in the food plants which were grown in a large piece of ground and the man eat the same plant in large quantity , so the amount of DDT also increases . ... therefore the minutely sprayed DDT was found in a great amount in man which is very harmful for the human body
Answer:
This occurs due to biological magnification. When pesticides like DDT are used to protect crops from diseases and pests. These non-biodegradable substances enter the soil. From soil these substances are absorbed by plants along with water and minerals. The food plants when consumed by organisms, they get accumulated at different trophic levels. As the human beings occupy the top position in any food chain, maximum concentration of such harmful chemicals get accumulated in the bodies of man.
