- Sainmhíniú the increase in concentration of a substance, such as the pesticide DDT, that occurs in a food chain as a consequence of: * Persistence (Can't be broken down by environmental processes) * Food chain energetics * Low (or nonexistent) rate of internal degradation/excretion of the substance (often due to water-insolubility) Tagairt "Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomagnification [25.6.2010]"
- Nóta "Bioconcentration [ IATE:1398629 ] refers only to the uptake of substances into the organism from water alone. Bioaccumlation [ IATE:1594462 ] is the more general term because it includes all means (food and environment) of uptake into the organism.Biomagnification occurs in a food chain"
