The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) banned the use of DDT (dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane) in 1972. This decision was largely influenced by concerns over the pesticide's environmental and health impacts, particularly its effects on wildlife and its potential to accumulate in the food chain. The ban followed extensive research and advocacy, notably highlighted by Rachel Carson's book "Silent Spring."
