Biomagnificationprocess occurs when certain toxic chemicals andpollutantssuch as heavy metals, pesticides or polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) compounds go up the food chain by working their way through the environment and into the soil or thewatersystems after which they are eaten by aquatic animals or plants
