Some population of human & some wildlife species are known to suffer significant impetus from certain pops on polare and temperate regions refer the major sources of these tonir pollutants are almost certainly thousands of kilometers distract from their original sollred 2. Pops an cause similar and even greater impetus in near sowece areas 3. Pops ion the environment is complex because these compound can exist in different phase( e.g. as a gas or attached to airborne particles ) 4. Ordinary domesticated meat & milk products can also be significantly contain tinted by pops in tropical and temperate areas the sane pops that can travel long distance on air currents can also travel shorter distance and then contaminate regional grassy areas where livestock graze Pops & the food chain Bio-magnification is through food chain also known as biological magnification it is the progressive increase in concentration of certain substance in the body over a period of time because of passage Through generally have low water solubility and high lipid (fat) solubility. Persistent substances with those property tend to bio accumulate in fatty tissue of living organisms In the environment concentrations of these substance can magnify by factors of aim many thousand asd they move up the food chain. For e.g in 1997 study by arctic monitoring and assessment programmer that (is an international program initiated by the minister of eight artic countries in 1991) found that caribou or reindeer in Canada 3 north west tree tourism had as much as 10 times the level of PCBS as the lichen on which they grazed and the PCBS level in wolves that feed on the reindeer were magnified nearly 60 times as much as lichen
