[...] Là encore, on note des phénomènes de concentration très importants dans les chaînes alimentaires: par exemple pour une partie par milliards on en retrouve soixante-dix fois plus dans le plancton, quinze millions de fois plus dans les poissons planctonophages et huit cent millions de fois plus chez un mammifère marin comme la baleine.
