Question

Name any two substance that are responsible vfor causing biomagnification

Answer 1

The release of toxic chemicals and pollutants into the environments such as the seas, air, and land results in the accumulation of toxins and harmful substances in the environment. The concentration of these toxic chemicals and pollutants seem to be very low when released in different environments, it eventually accumulates and gets absorbed by lower organisms in the food chains such as fish, earthworms, and plants. When the lower organisms are eaten by other organism and the process goes up the trophic levels, biomagnifiaction occurs.

1.Agriculture
2.Industrial manufacturing activities and pollution
3.Mining activities in the ocean

Answer 2

Before writing the answer, I'll explain what is biomagnification?

Biomagnification is the accumulation of a chemical by an organism from water and food exposure. It results in a concentration which is greater would have resulted from water exposure only and thus greater than expected from equilibrium.

The release of toxic chemicals and pollutants into the environments such as the seas, air, and land results in the accumulation of toxins and harmful substances in the environment specially in the sea and water bodies which causes biofortification of the water surface.
