biomagnification [ˌbaɪəʊmæɡnɪfɪˈkeɪʃn], bioamplification[ˌbaɪəʊæmplɪfɪˈkeɪʃn], bioaccumulation[ˌbaɪəʊəˌkjuːmjʊˈleɪʃn]名词(the progressive build up of persistent substances by successive trophic levels such as DDT)
These include studies specifically designed to assess the potential exposure of consumers to the substance, as well as the persistence and potential for bioaccumulation.
It was intended to be a replacement for DDT, but has since been banned based on its acute toxicity, bioaccumulation, and endocrine disruption activity.
