In many cases, animals near the top of the food chain are most affected because of a process called biomagnification. ... This is biomagnification, and it means that higher-level predators-fish, birds, and marine mammals-build up greater and more dangerous amounts of toxic materials than animals lower on the food chain.

Answer:

When predatory animals consume their prey they also consume all of the toxic chemicals within said prey. When these toxins aren't easily excreted they build up in the animal's system through bioaccumulation. Therefore, when the food chain progresses, concentrations increase or magnify.
