Difference between Bioaccumulation and Mercury poisoning

Bioaccumulation vs. Mercury poisoning

Bioaccumulation is the accumulation of substances, such as pesticides, or other chemicals in an organism. Mercury poisoning is a type of metal poisoning due to mercury exposure.

Similarities between Bioaccumulation and Mercury poisoning

Bioaccumulation and Mercury poisoning have 9 things in common (in Unionpedia): Bioconcentration, Biomagnification, Catabolism, Chelation therapy, Heavy metals, Mad as a hatter, Mercury (element), Methylmercury, Solubility.

Bioconcentration

Bioconcentration is the accumulation of a chemical in or on an organism when the source of chemical is solely water.
