About this document
DDT Biomagnification in Aquatic Food Chain by parekh4510 is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Biomagnification is the process where toxic substances like DDT increase in concentration as they move up the aquatic food chain, starting from water to plankton, small fish, large fish, and finally to birds or humans. DDT is non-biodegradable and fat-soluble, leading to severe health risks for top predators, including reproductive issues and hormonal disruptions. Despite being banned in many countries, the effects of DDT continue to impact aquatic ecosystems decades later.
