Chemical waste, such as Mercury, bioaccumulates in the food chains. It is taken up through the gills of fish and concentrated in the flesh. It can be dangerous to eat large quantities of big ocean fish, contaminated by mercury. In humans, mercury causes neurological symptoms, birth defects and death. In one international incident, a village of Minimata Bay, Japan suffered mercury poisoning and 52 people died eating fish contaminated by a chemical plant.

Body Waste is excess substances present in the body tissues. It is not needed by the body.

Urine starts out as substances such as toxins in the blood. The blood is processed by the spleen and liver break things down to where the kidneys can process things. From there, the kidneys filter the waste out of the blood. The urine from the kidneys is stored in your urinary bladder until you urinate.

Feces starts out as the food you eat. You grind the food with your teeth and mix it with your saliva which contains an enzyme that converts starch to sugar. Then the stomach uses hydrochloric acid to break down the food and further reduce bulk. As the food passes through the duodenum, which is part of the lower stomach, the food mixes with bile from the liver and enzymes from the pancreas to further break it down. Now as it passes through the small intestines, the nutrients are extracted and absorbed into the bloodstream -- with the first stop being the liver. What is left over continues into the large intestine. In there, moisture is about the only thing that is removed. Then it continues to the pouch at the end called the rectum. The opening on the end of the rectum is called the anus. That is where the more solid waste exits the body.
