What else can I help you with?
What is ddt and what is it supposed to kill?
DDT is dichlorodiphenyltrichlorethane.
Why did ddt only affect to carnivores?
Not true. Birds have been affected by DDT and so have fish.
Why do predatory birds die when DDT is sprayed onto land or water?
Your premise is incorrect; DDT does not kill birds. DDT kills mosquitoes.
Can you use ddt powder to kill head lice?
DDT is very efficient but not recommended because of his high toxicity.
Was ddt used to kill bad bugs 50 years ago?
Yes, DDT is very efficient against mosquitoes and other insects.
What is ddt and what is it supposed to kill?
DDT is dichlorodiphenyltrichlorethane.
How many times greater ias the concentration of DDT in fish than seawater?
The concentration of DDT in fish is typically thousands of times greater than in seawater due to biomagnification, where DDT accumulates in organisms higher up the food chain. This accumulation occurs as fish consume smaller organisms with DDT residues, leading to higher concentrations in their tissues.
Does DDT kill bees?
Yes, it will.
Does zooplankton or small fish have the most DDT in its body?
Typically, zooplankton accumulate higher concentrations of DDT in their bodies compared to small fish. This is due to a process called biomagnification, where toxins like DDT become more concentrated at each level of the food chain. Zooplankton, being at the base, absorb DDT from the water and sediments, and when small fish consume them, the concentration of DDT increases in the fish. Thus, while both may contain DDT, small fish generally have higher levels due to their position in the food web.

What is one of the diseases that makes bald eagles die?
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.
Can you use ddt powder to kill head lice?
DDT is very efficient but not recommended because of his high toxicity.
What effects can a DDT ban have on the population of fish?
DDT is dangerous for all living beings; but also is a very good insecticide.
How did DDT enter the food chain?
DDT entered the food chain because it was in the water of the fish that bald eagles ate.
What problems could DDT cause in Africa?
If over-used, DDT (Dichloro-Diphenyl-Trichloroethane) is likely to kill a lot of fish. If used properly (something that the World Health Organization is trying to do) then it will be present in most plants and animals. It is highly unlikely that it will approach dangerous levels as you would have to literally eat buckets of DDT to approach lethal exposure.
Was ddt used to kill bad bugs 50 years ago?
Yes, DDT is very efficient against mosquitoes and other insects.
