Biomagnification of DDT in an aquatic food chain starting from water having a concentration of 0.003 ppb may go, in fish eating birds, upto:

As DDT passes into food chain , its concentration

DDT contant in the water of a lake that supplies drinking water to the nearby villages, is found to be 0.003 ppm. The kingfishers of that area reported to have 2 ppm of DDT. Why has the concentration increased in these birds ? What harm will this cause to the bird population ? Name the phenomenon.
