Which of the following metal is bioaccumulative in nature but does not undergo biomagnification to cause adverse health effects?
Show Hint
Remember, biomagnification refers to the increase in concentration of a substance through trophic levels, whereas bioaccumulation happens within a single organism over time.
1. Selenium (Se) accumulates in organisms over time (bioaccumulative). 2. However, it does not significantly biomagnify across trophic levels, which mitigates its adverse health effects compared to mercury (Hg).
