Your premise is incorrect; DDT does not kill birds. DDT kills mosquitoes.
insectisides,pesticides,chemicals like ddt etc. kill mosquitoes
The effect was that when it was used many mosquitoes were killed reducing the amount of DDT contracted the problem was the nature of the DDTbeing a poison that had badeffects.Here is a bit of history. In WW2 our soldiers stationed in the Pacific Islands were sprayed with DDT to prevent malaria. Now, many of these men are dying of cancer. As my dad was dying of cancer ( he served in the Pacific in the Army in WW2) I asked his doctor if there was a relationship between the cancer and the DDT. He stated that there probably was. So, not only did this kill the mosquitoes, stay in the environment to affect animals, but it probably hurt the men who were around it and sprayed down as well.
No, DDT does not cause malaria. DDT is actually used to control the mosquito populations that spread malaria by killing the mosquitoes that carry the disease. Using DDT in a controlled and targeted manner can help reduce the incidence of malaria.
DDT is very efficient against mosquitoes.
DDT was used in the 1940's. While my dad was stationed in the Philippines in WW2 they were sprayed with it keep the mosquitoes off of the troops. It has been found to cause cancer and to kill or produce deformed animals. Things like Eagle eggs have shown up with DDT and breaking because the shell was too thin.
When DDT is used, most of the mosquitoes are killed initially. However some develop a resistance and begin to repopulate.
Yes, DDT is very efficient against mosquitoes and other insects.
DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) is an insecticide. Its most known usage is killing mosquitoes that carry malaria. However, there are resistant mosquitoes, and DDT has some severe health and environmental risks, and thus its usage is highly restricted.
DDT is sprayed ova the country cuhh
One should not use DDT directly on another person. That will have serious side effects. If DDT is to be used, it should be used sparingly and only sprayed in places that mosquitos will congregrate.
