1873/1874 is the date of DDT's (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) first known making.
Specifically, Austrian chemist Othmar Zeidler (1859-1911) is credited with DDT's first known synthesis. The achievement occurred under the supervision of German chemist Johann Friedrich Wilhelm Adolf von Bayer (1835-1917). Swiss scientist Paul Hermann Müller (1899-1965) received the 1948 Nobel Prize in Medicine and Physiology for recognizing DDT's efficacy as an insecticide and thereby supplying controls against such insect-transmitted diseases as malaria and yellow fever.

The first man-made insecticide was DDT, which was developed in 1939 by a Swiss chemist named Paul Hermann Müller. DDT was widely used to control insect pests during World War II and in agriculture until its harmful effects on the environment and human health were discovered.

DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) is a strong insecticide.

DDT is not soluble in water.
Actually it was ddt a pestiside for bugs.
DDT was a pesticide that was used to kill bugs on farms. But when pretadors of those bugs were eaten by other predators the level of DDT rose and made the Bald Eagles egg shells very thin and usually the bald eagle would die. DDT is now outlawed, but the levels of DDT are still in fish and insects.
DDT was banned in the USA in 1972.
