उत्तर

A problem with non-biodegradable toxic pollutants is that they undergo biologic magnification as they pass through food webs.

Explanation:

Non-biodegradable pollutants such as certain pesticides and heavy metals cannot be broken down by natural processes. As these pollutants move up the food chain through successive trophic levels, their concentration increases, a process known as biological magnification (or biomagnification). This leads to higher toxin levels in predators at the top of the food chain, causing serious harm to organisms and disrupting ecosystems.
