Bioaccumulation refers to the process by which pollutants or toxins enter, concentrate, and remain in the tissues of an organism. This process can occur through various pathways, such as food intake, respiration, or dermal contact. Bioaccumulation can have adverse effects on the health and survival of organisms, and can also affect higher trophic levels in food webs.
