Using DDT can actually boost and insect population. This is because DDT only kills certain insects and not other insects.
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.
The first man-made insecticide was DDT, which was developed in 1939 by a Swiss chemist named Paul Hermann Müller. DDT was widely used to control insect pests during World War II and in agriculture until its harmful effects on the environment and human health were discovered.
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.
The study in a Pennsylvania forest found that using DDT led to declines in bird populations due to eggshell thinning, which made them more susceptible to breaking during incubation. This ultimately disrupted the ecosystem by harming bird reproduction and population dynamics.
DDT is an insecticide.
He sprays DDT.
the insects might have developed a resistance to the insecticide
He sprays DDT.
Banned in most countries now
Since DDT was banned, the population of bald eagles has increased, and the species has been moved from the endangered list to the threatened list. The population increased by about 15% during the first ten years after DDT was banned.
DDT is dangerous for all living beings; but also is a very good insecticide.
DDT killed ladybugs, which caused the aphid population to rise.
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 caused eggshells to be too brittle to hatch, and the eagles numbers plummeted..With the banning of DDT the population has rebounded to a point where they are no longer endangered.
because DDT accumulates in fatty tissue, DDT concentrations increase as this chemical moves up in the food chain because at the top of the food chain, DDT concentration has increased almost 10 million times

Actually it was ddt a pestiside for bugs.
