Solution

Biomagnification or bioconecentration is the process by which some toxins or chemicals are aggregated in the tissues or cells of organisms as we move up in the food chain. Human beings are normally at the top or the highest trophic level of the all food chains, hence they have the maximum bioconcentration.
