Image of The Day caption:
To understand how nature deals with persistent pollutants, MIT-WHOI Joint Program graduate student Kristin Pangallo analyzes marine animal extracts, such as the squid extract in the flask above, for biomagnified contaminants. In exploring the biomagnification – an increase in concentration of a substance up the food chain – of naturally-occurring chemicals, Pangallo hopes to learn more about how to deal with man-made pollutants accumulating in marine life.
Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 47, No. 1, Pg. 26:
Does this flask of oil extracted from squid contain biomagnified chemicals?
