Toxic Enter, Accumulation and Cause Harm Throught Foodchain
Summary
This chapter examines bioaccumulation and biomagnification of microplastics and toxic substances through marine and terrestrial food chains, tracing the pathway from ocean zooplankton through small and large fish to apex predators including humpback whales and ultimately humans, alongside heavy metal and selenium toxicant biomagnification from soil through vegetables.
The basic content of chapter 18 is to state the cause of human poisoning by eating, dringking polluted water, via the bio-accumulation pathway, and biomagnification: in which, notably the process of bioaccumulation and biomagnification of microplastics, from the marine environment, the ocean to the zooplanton through small fish, to large fish, then through fish-eating creatures and finally, animals you eat big fish. This process has accumulated in humpback whales, and eventually in humans, the highest in body mass. This chapter consists of: An overview of ecosystem and foodchain, Meaning of food chain research to prevention of food poisoning Transmission of heavy metallic toxin from soil into vegetables and humans Selene toxication from soil into food chain Toxicological toxication from water environmental into the food chain Plants protection chemicals into the food chain Some research results on the effect of plant protection drugs on biotics
