DDT killed bad insects but it also caused the bald eagle to almost become extinct. Rachel Carson wrote about the problems in her book Silent Spring. He book convinced many to do a world wide ban.
DDT is toxic, cancerigen and very resistant in the environment.
Because DDT degrades slowly in the environment and is toxic it is considered a polluting substance.
- DDT is toxic also for humans- DDT is very stable in the environment
people that understand that DDT is a problem to the environment, humans and animals
DDT is toxic for many living beings; also DDT is accumulated in the environment and organisms and decomposes very slowly.
DDT is fat-soluble and tends to build up in the fatty tissues of predators and scavengers.
DDT is toxic for many living beings including humans and the decomposition in the environment is very slowly.
People who understand DDT may disagree with its use due to environmental concerns. DDT is a persistent organic pollutant that accumulates in the environment and can harm non-target species, including humans. Alternatives that are less harmful to the environment and human health are available for pest control.
DDT is degraded slowly and therefore it remains in the environment long time.

The United States stopped using DDT primarily due to its harmful effects on the environment and human health. It was found to have persistent toxic effects on wildlife, to bioaccumulate in the food chain, and to have potential carcinogenic properties. These concerns prompted the US to ban the use of DDT in agriculture in 1972.
No, DDT (Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) is not a fertilizer. It is a synthetic pesticide that was widely used in the past for pest control but has since been banned in many countries due to its harmful effects on the environment and human health.
