Definition of biomagnification in US English:

biomagnification

noun ˌbaɪoʊˌmæɡnəfəˈkeɪʃ(ə)nˌbīōˌmaɡnəfəˈkāSH(ə)nˌbaɪoʊˌmæɡnəfəˈkeɪʃ(ə)n

The concentration of toxins in an organism as a result of its ingesting other plants or animals in which the toxins are more widely disbursed.
Example sentencesExamples
- Vectors for POPs are the same as for heavy metals (i.e., ocean currents, precipitation, and biomagnification through the food chain, especially the marine food chain).
- ‘Now, the mercury in the bay traveled through the system by that process we environmentalists like to call: biomagnification,’ the teacher droned, repeating that statement for about the fortieth time.
- Unfortunately, insecticides like DDT used to control the mosquitoes was found to ripple through the web of life in a process called biomagnification, and proved to be dangerous to other species, including humans.
- Another factor could be the processes of bioaccumulation and biomagnification, which result in human tissue concentrations that are higher than the concentrations in the exposure environment.
- It was only after huge amounts had been used and birdwatchers began noticing that eagles were disappearing that biologists discovered biomagnification, the concentration of material up the food chain.
- But the researchers found that BMAA accumulates and becomes more potent as it moves up the food chain - a process called biomagnification.
- Formation of methyl-mercury in aquatic environments leads to biomagnification and neurotoxicity in consuming mammals.
- Then we go further and I see that we are acknowledging that the Arctic ecosystems and indigenous communities are particularly at risk, because of the biomagnification, and that it is a public health issue.
- Beyond its scientific meaning, biomagnification serves more broadly as a useful metaphor for southern impact in the north in the sense that many impacts felt in the north tend to be magnified and concentrated.

Derivatives

biomagnify

verb

This reflects an unfortunate coincidence of transboundary effects combined with the tendency for pollutants to ‘biomagnify’ in northern ecosystems.
Example sentencesExamples
- Similar to many other pollutants, mercury biomagnifies up the food chain so the larger and older a fish, the greater the potential for contamination with mercury.
- These chemicals ‘biomagnify’ in the food web and are ‘persistent,’ passing from generation to generation.
- Each of these compounds are important contaminants in biological systems as they readily bioaccumulate and biomagnify in the food chain.
- Fish are vulnerable to methylmercury contamination because watery environments enhance the ability of this organic metal to biomagnify - meaning that it concentrates as it is siphoned up the food chain.
