DDT or dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane is a colorless crystalline substance that is used as an insecticide. DDT and some related compounds are primarily stored in fats and other organic solvents.
The concentration of DDT in the fish is 430,000 times greater than the concentration of DDT in the water.
Eagle populations recovered after the ban on DDT.
DDT is used as an insecticide which kills on contact. It is extremely harmful and was banned in United States since 1972. Before it was banned, it was used to protect crops from insect damage, but it killed too many animals and plants, while insect populations grew more and more resistant to DDT. This led to ban in DDT in many countries.
DDT is a pesticide that was used to kill bugs. It's bad for the environment because it was killing the animals that would eat those bugs once they were dead, and the population of those animals was decreasing fast. It was banned once scientists realized what it was doing to the animals.
He sprays DDT.
DDT can be stored in fatty tissues of humans. In women who are pregnant, DDT exposure can occur even in the fetus.
DDT was replaced primarily by methoxychlor, which contains about 50% DMDT.
Some do and some do not. Water-soluble compounds can pass out of an organism fairl easily. Some compounds, such as DDT, however, do not leave the body.
ALL raptors are affected by DDT, because they prey upon what's been poisoned. Check out the related link listed below:
The physical property of DDT that contributes to its bioaccumulation in animals is its inability to break down easily. This results in it being stored in the fatty issues of animals.
DDT is highly lipid soluble and has been reported to remain in the bodyfat of migratory birds. It certainly plausible from what I've seen, whether or not it happens in humans is another story.
Earth's atmosphere contains oxygen and the inert gases. All these are elements. It also contains compounds like carbon dioxide, and water as vaporous gas, It contains many organic compounds, most thought of as pollutants, such as methane, DDT, and many other volatile organic compounds:
DDT is an artificial insecticide prepared by the reaction of chloral with chlorobenzene in the presence of sulfuric acid. It was first made in 1874, but its insecticidal action was discovered in 1939 by Paul Hermann Muller, a Swiss chemist.
The half life of organic compounds is not like the half life of radioactive materials. It is variable due to the impacts of water, light, temperature and the chemical reactivity of the soil. In the case of DDT (in soil) it can range between three weeks and 30 years.
