Contaminants in the environment

Contaminants in the environment are often a major concern even when the contamination is on the level of
parts per million. Please do research on Biomagnification first. For this discussion you have three parts to
answer. Make sure you answer is labelled Part A, Part B, and Part C. DO NOT put all of your answers in one
paragraph. Part A - Describe the process of Biomagnification in detail. Make sure you describe exactly what
happens at each trophic level from producers to the highest carnivore. When you discuss each trophic level,
you must discuss exactly how the concentration of the toxin changed and keep in mind I am looking for a
numerical comparison of the toxin, not a qualitative comparison. Part B - Why is there such a concern when
toxins are released in the environment at such low levels when we know that our own bodies can easily
tolerate a contamination at such low levels? I am looking for a numerical answer comparing the amount of toxin
on each trophic level. Part C – Compare and contrast Biomagnification, Bioaccumulation, and
Bioconcentration. Make sure you discuss, in detail, the exact differences for each process and make sure you
discuss what happens to the levels of toxins when they undergo each process. Remember your answers for
Part A and Part B must be based on biomagnification only
