biomagnification is the increasing concentration of a substance in the tissues of organisms at successively higher levels in a food chain.
Therefore organisms higher in the food chain are in danger of suffering greater harm from toxins and chemicals than those at lower levels of the food chain
Biological magnification often refers to the process whereby certain substances move up the food chain , work their way into rivers or lakes, and are eaten by aquatic organisms which is turn are eaten by animals or plant
Be aware that biomagnification, as a measure of trophic transfer of pollutants, can be problematic for a no. of reasons
