| DDT | <chemical> This chlorinated organic insecticide was discovered by Swiss chemist Paul Muller in 1939. DDT has been especially useful in controlling mosquitos that carry malaria, but some strains of the insects have become resistant to it. DDT has comparatively low acute toxicity in humans (it is thought to cause cancer), but it persists for a longtime in the environment and is disastrously toxic to birds, especially top-level predators such as hawks and eagles. The chemical interferes with the birds ability to metabolise calcium, and thus affected birds that lay eggs with fatally thin shells. DDT has been banned in most countries, but it is still widely used on crops in Latin America. (09 Oct 1997) |

| DDT |
The first chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticide chemical name: Dichloro-Diphenyl-Trichloroethane. It has a half-life of 15 years and can collect in fatty tissues of certain animals. EPA banned registration and interstate sale of DDT for virtually all but emergency uses in the United States in 1972 because of its persistence in the environment and accumulation in the food chain.

dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, a colorless insecticide widely used during the ?0s and ?0s whose side effects wreaked havoc on a number of species, including the peregrine. Though banned in the US since 1972, DDT is still in use in South America, where many peregrines winter.

| DDT |
a pesticide commonly used in the mid-1900s to control insect outbreaks. Breakdown elements from DDT and other pesticides called chlorinated hydrocarbons accumulated in the upper levels of the food chain. The results of this accumulation proved particularly hazardous for birds of prey and other bird species that eat primarily fish, because high quantities of these chemicals caused an abnormality in calcium production. ...
