Explanation:
The phenomenon that causes this harmful effect is known as bio-magnification.
By this phenomenon, if poison is taken up by a creature of the lower food chain, it gets multiplied. Thereafter the predators get more amounts of this poison and the top of the food chain consumes the highest amount of this poison.
In the real scenario, plants and marine fishes have a lot of poison in their body due to over pollution.
Hence, these harmful chemicals get multiplied as we move up the food chain resulting in adverse affects in humans.
