Bioaccumulation: (bioconcentration), property of a chemical to be concentrated from the surrounding environment to living organisms. Lipid-soluble, poorly water-soluble chemicals seek any lipid-containing material especially in water environment, e.g. plankton. Bioconcentration is strictly speaking a passive partition or diffusion between the media and the organism, bioaccumulation may also encompass uptake of compounds via feeding.[1]
