Answer:The terms persistent and non-persistent refer to how long a pesticide stays in the environment. Non-persistent pesticides break down in the environment more quickly than persistent pesticides. Persistent pesticides have a greater potential to accumulate in organisms. When a pesticide bioaccumulates, predator animals higher on the food chain accumulate more pesticides in their body. This happens because more of their food and water sources also contain the persistent chemical.
