26. The chemicals sprayed on crops are washed down into the soil. From the 
soil these are absorbed by plants along with water and minerals, plants 
are eaten by animals. This way they enter in a food chain. 
As these chemicals are not degradable, these get accumulated 
progressively at each successive trophic level. This phenomena is called 
bio magnification.

26. The chemicals sprayed on crops are washed down into the soil. From the 
soil these are absorbed by plants along with water and minerals, plants 
are eaten by animals. This way they enter in a food chain. 
As these chemicals are not degradable, these get accumulated 
progressively at each successive trophic level. This phenomena is called 
bio magnification.
