The process in which the harmful chemical enters the food chain is Bio magnification.
Explanation:
Bio magnification is a process in which substance such as harmful chemical increases in a food chain in progressive manner with greater concentration.
The contaminants include heavy metals such as arsenic, mercury, and chemicals like pesticides, insecticides, DDT, etc. As a result the substance concentration increases in tissues or internal organs.
This process occurs in tropic level. This process is also known as Bio amplification or Biological magnification.
