PFAS from sediments and water can accumulate in marine organisms. Animals higher up the food chain accumulate more PFAS because they absorb the PFAS accumulated in their prey.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: PFAS from sediments and water can accumulate in marine organisms. Animals higher up the food chain accumulate more PFAS because they absorb the PFAS accumulated within their prey. In this figure, the plankton is consumed by fish, which are consumed by gulls. The gull absorbs the PFAS from the fish and from all the plankton ever eaten by the fish, leading to higher concentrations of PFAS in its organs than those found in its prey.
