The concentration of DDT in the fish is 430,000 times greater than the concentration of DDT in the water.
DDT entered the food chain because it was in the water of the fish that bald eagles ate.
Some of the pesticides sprayed on farm crops wash off in the rain and get into the waterways. The water plants absorb the pesticides.
They got endangere because of the use of DDT and oher pesticides basicly the DDT poisons the rabbits and stuff and in turn poison the falcons
When DDT is applied to soil, water or other materials it does not decompose or biodegrade rapidly. As consequence it is slowly washed out with the water flows into groundwater or surface flows into streams. These flows eventually reach lakes and oceans with the DDT content still intact. The biggest problem was the over application of DDT which exceeded the absorptive capacity of the environment leaving a surplus to become mobile in water flows.
because when it was applied to soil it didn't go away so when the soil was washed into rivers and stuff it was in the water.
