What are polluted for spraying of DDT in crop plants?
air,soil and water only
How do DDT got into the water?
DDT from soils is drained to water after rains and floods.
Is DDT soluble in water?
DDT is not very soluble in water. It is more soluble in organic solvents like benzene and ethanol.
The molecule weight of DDT is 354.5the quantity of DDT required to prepare one liter of 10ppm DDT solution is.?
DDT is not soluble in water.
Why would the concentration of ddt be less in water than in another organism?
The concentration of DDT is lower in water than in organisms because of bioaccumulation. Organisms absorb DDT from water through their food or direct exposure, leading to higher concentrations in their bodies compared to the surrounding environment. As DDT moves up the food chain, its concentration increases at each trophic level, resulting in higher levels in organisms than in the water.

Did they test ddt?
DDT can be determined in soils, waters, plants, etc.
How DDT react with water?
DDT doesn't react with water.

Is there any evidence of bio-accumulation in the case of DDT?
Yes, many animals and plants have been tested and proven to contain DDT years after it was applied to crops many miles away. The most notable case is that of the American Bald Eagle, whose eggshells were weakened by DDT contamination, threatening the entire Bald Eagle population for years. Some years after DDT was banned in the US, the eagle's normal reproductive cycle was restored, as the DDT levels in their blood was reduced.
Why does osprey contain large amounts of DDT?
DDT concentration is higher in ospreys because they eat the animals that have concentrations of DDT in it. As DDT passes up the food chain it gets more and more concentrated. THis is due to the 10% rule. wiki it.
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.
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.
Does DDT react with water?
DDT, or dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, is not particularly reactive with water. It is only slightly soluble in water and tends to persist in the environment for long periods of time. However, DDT can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water under certain conditions.
