DDT, a pesticide widely used in the mid-20th century, had detrimental effects on otters, primarily through the contamination of their aquatic habitats. The chemical accumulated in the food chain, leading to reproductive issues and decreased survival rates in otters due to thinning of eggshells and other health problems. As a result, otter populations declined significantly in areas where DDT was heavily used, highlighting the broader environmental impacts of this pesticide. The ban on DDT in many countries has since allowed for some recovery of otter populations.
