DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) primarily affects the lungs through its potential to cause respiratory issues when inhaled. It can lead to lung irritation and inflammation, contributing to respiratory distress and decreased lung function. Long-term exposure has been associated with more severe respiratory problems and may exacerbate pre-existing conditions like Asthma. Additionally, DDT's persistence in the environment can lead to bioaccumulation, increasing the risk of chronic exposure and its associated health effects.
