Bioacumulación en las cadenas tróficas

The video discusses the peregrine falcon, one of the fastest animals, and its global habitat. It highlights the decline in their population due to pollutants, specifically flame retardants, which affect their reproduction. These pollutants, originating from industrial plants, travel long distances and accumulate in remote habitats. The concept of bioaccumulation is explained, showing how toxins move up the food chain, threatening species like the peregrine falcon.

Discuss the implications of persistent organic pollutants on ecosystems.

What is bioaccumulation and how does it affect food chains?
