Detailed explanation-1: -The term bioaccumulation is short for biological accumulation.
Detailed explanation-2: -Bioaccumulation is a process of accumulation of chemicals in an organism that takes place if the rate of intake exceeds the rate of excretion. Chemicals are introduced into the organism through exposure to the abiotic environment (soil, water, air) or as dietary intake (trophic transfer).
Detailed explanation-3: -Bioaccumulation is the gradual accumulation of substances, such as pesticides or other chemicals, in an organism. Bioaccumulation occurs when an organism absorbs a substance at a rate faster than that at which the substance is lost or eliminated by catabolism and excretion.
Detailed explanation-4: -Pesticides are known to be widespread environmental pollutants due to their bioaccumulation and persistence in the ecosystems.
