Why was ddt used in borneo?
DDT was used in Borneo primarily as a pesticide for controlling malaria-carrying mosquitoes during the mid-20th century. The goal was to reduce the spread of malaria and protect public health. However, the long-term use of DDT had harmful environmental impacts and led to the decline of certain wildlife populations in the region.
What were DDT uses?
DDT was used in the later 1950's and early 1960's for the erradication of mosquitoes, and other insects. It pretty much cured the Malaria in America and a great deal of the world. It was banned and now once again we are having a problem with Malaria and other insect borne infections.

How is DDT spraying for malaria different than spraying for agriculture?
DDT spraying for malaria primarily targets disease-carrying mosquitoes in specific areas, often involving indoor residual spraying to reduce human exposure to malaria. In contrast, agricultural DDT spraying aims to control pests affecting crops over larger areas and usually involves different application methods and concentrations. While both uses involve DDT’s insecticidal properties, the focus in malaria control is on protecting human health, whereas agricultural use is centered on maximizing crop yield. Additionally, the regulatory frameworks and public health considerations differ significantly between the two applications.

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.
