[edit] Merge with bioaccumulation
I disagree that this page should be merged with biaccumulation, I believe it is a seperate, distinct concept, related to bioaccumulation. I am not as credentialed as the user who suggested the merge Petaholmes but it seems self evident to me. -PHiZ
I'm working on this article, but couldn't finish yet. And I agree on keeping them apart, but donb't feel too strongly about it. Satyrium 20:27, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chemicals that biomagnify
Inorganic mercury does not biomagnify. Monomethylmercury, an organic mercury compound, does, and accounts for ~95% of total mercury in higher trophic level fish. In low trophic levels, inorganic mercury may bioaccumulate. Headers should reflect this difference.
