Biomagnification is the process by which the concentration of a particular substance, such as a pollutant, increases in organisms as it moves up the food chain. This occurs because predators consume multiple prey, accumulating the substance in their bodies at higher levels than in the environment. Organisms at the top of the food chain, such as humans, can experience the greatest concentration of these substances.
