Cause of biomagnification?

Toxic chemical and heavy metal run into the ocean because of industrial, agricultural, and human waste. These waste products dumped into the sea from runoff and deliberate action. These chemical and heavy metals have been linked to many problems into discs, birth defects, behavioral change, reproductive problems, and genetic mutation within marine organisms. they also contribute to there deaths. Agricultural products like pesticide, herbicides, fungicides, and chemical fertilizer seep into the soil as they have released in farms and another agricultural area. They eventually make their way towards the sea.many of these products have heavy metal in them like Hg, Cd, As.
pollutants from factories, mining, and other industrial process are widely known and many of those pollutants are toxic chemicals well as metal and eventually accumulate their food chain. Besides contaminating water supply they also contaminated the soil and river.

  1. The same applies to humans. All animals near the top of the food chain experience bio-magnification. Humans doubly so as we also consume some of the larger predators.
