One food plant contain insecticide in small amounts.... Many food plants are eaten by herbivores and so there is accumulation of this non biodegradable harmful substance in them in more amounts... Than this herbivores are eaten by carnivore and than humans eat carnivore so as it reaches to human, the accumulation of insecticide is much more
This is due to bio magnification.....
Humans are present at fourth or last trophic level in all food chain so accumulation in human is more....
