Difference between Bioaccumulation and Pollution

Bioaccumulation vs. Pollution

Bioaccumulation is the accumulation of substances, such as pesticides, or other chemicals in an organism. Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that cause adverse change.

Similarities between Bioaccumulation and Pollution

Bioaccumulation and Pollution have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): Biomagnification, Gasoline, Heavy metals, Lead, Mercury poisoning, Nuclear weapon, Persistent organic pollutant, Pesticide, Phytoremediation, Trophic level.

Biomagnification

Biomagnification, also known as bioamplification or biological magnification, is the increasing concentration of a substance, such as a toxic chemical, in the tissues of tolerant organisms at successively higher levels in a food chain.

Gasoline

Gasoline (American English), or petrol (British English), is a transparent, petroleum-derived liquid that is used primarily as a fuel in spark-ignited internal combustion engines.

Nuclear weapon

A nuclear weapon is an explosive device that derives its destructive force from nuclear reactions, either fission (fission bomb) or from a combination of fission and fusion reactions (thermonuclear bomb).
