If they're accumulating in marine species, then we ca assume that they’re also in humans? 😣

#Biomagnification 🎣 ➡️ 🤷🏻‍♀️

Researchers have published a study, in Environmental Science and Ecotechnology, revealing the first clear evidence that BPs biomagnify within Arctic marine food webs.nce that BPs biomagnify within Arctic marine food webs.

This means that #biomagnification too gets worse each year. This means that eating livestock or fish or anything with flesh, gets more dangerous exponentially now.

Dioxin | US EPA This site contains all of EPA's information on the chemical known as 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin, which is more commonly referred to as "dioxin."

Why is life becoming exponentially riskier by the hour?
What is #bioaccumulation and #biomagnification? 🧵

"EPA estimates that more than 90% of typical human exposure is through the intake of meat and animal fats, dairy products, fish, and shellfish."

The magic words are

#bioaccumulation

#biomagnification

and … exponential risks

Wildlife poisoning. My dog almost died of baited coyote hamburger/rat poison in forest so hunters had more deer to hunt.

Also, poison works its way up the food chain in both terrestrial & aquatic habitats.

Lethal second-generation rat poisons are killing endangered quolls and Tasmanian devils Second generation rat poisons are so potent that they’re banned for home use in Europe and North America. But here, you can pick them up at Bunnings or Coles.

Looks like we are still learning the impacts of #biomagnification. Banned elsewhere, why on sale here? 🌏theconversation.com/lethal-second-generation...
