The answer is non-biodegradable and subject to bioaccumulation and/or bioamplification.


DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) is persistent, non-degradable insecticide and organic pollutant readily accumulated to soils and consequently affects organisms.
DDE (
dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene) is non-degradable pesticide toxic to birds at the first place.
PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) are non-degradable organic compounds  very toxic to the environment.
PBDEs (polybrominated diphenyl ethers) are non-degradable compounds very toxic to environment, even able to affect brains of animals in the development period.
