How has DDT affect hormonal signaling in eagles and peregrine falcon's?
DDT is a powerful chemical that can kill living things. When farmers spray DDT on their farms, the rodents and other small mammals in the farms vicinity die. Spotting an easy meal, birds of prey like eagles, vultures etc pick them up. As a result, the chemical enters the birds body causing diseases and even death in most cases. DDT also causes the birds to lay eggs with very thin shells. The thin shelled eggs break easily and the embryo will die.
What is the sickness that comes from DDT?
Sicknesses from DDT are an area of contention between the "No problem!" side and the "Doom!" side. Studies have yielded conflicting results which cannot be resolved at this level of involvement.There is always some discussion on the balance of impacts. The incidence of malaria prevented by DDT may be sufficiently "good" to out weigh the problems. Luckily this question does not request any discussion of the ethics of DDT use.Direct Toxic Effects* The US National Toxicological Program rates DDT as"moderately toxic"* WHO rates it as "moderately hazardous"* It is not considered to be acutely toxic by any agency. == * Occupational exposure to DDT has been tied to some nerve and brain problems in retired DDT production workers * Farmers exposed to DDT (long term) develop an increased rate of non-allergic asthma * Some studies indicate a link to diabetes Cancer * The United States National Toxicology program and the International Agency for Research on Cancer feel DDT and related chemicals may be a carcinogen due to the configuration of the molecules. The potential cancers include pancreatic cancer and liver cancer. Other studies are looking at testicular cancer and non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. * The whole question of the impact of DDT on breast cancer is under study. It may be very dependent on the age at which exposure occurs or tied to specific DDT isomers. Other Medical Problems Some DDT isomers and its metabolites are similar to estrogen and can cause problems. These types of compounds may affect reproductive success, fetal health and sexual health.

How does an animal living hundreds of kilometers from an area sprayed with DDT might get DDT in its body?
Many animals migrate at specific times of the year. An organism with DDT in its tissues may migrate a distance from the area it was sprayed; it may be consumed by a carnivore that would store a higher concentration of DDT in its body tissue. Migrating birds can carry DDT in their bodies even though they inhabit and can be consumed in an ecosystem that is distant from the one that is sprayed. The peregrine falcon is a species of bird found to have high concentrations of DDT in its body. The habitat of the falcon is quite broad, ranging from the North American boreal forest to areas of the southern United States. Falcon prey on organisms in areas where use of DDT is still prevalent, then migrate to areas where the use of DDT has been banned.
What is DDT and why does it accumulate in the body?
DDT is a synthetic pesticide that was widely used in the past but has since been banned in many countries due to its harmful effects on the environment and human health. DDT can accumulate in the body through various means, including ingestion, inhalation, and skin contact, and once absorbed, it is stored in fatty tissues where it can persist for years.

How does DDT affect human beings?
DDT can have harmful effects on human health, including potential carcinogenic and endocrine-disrupting properties. Exposure to DDT has been linked to issues such as developmental delays, reproductive issues, and increased risk of certain cancers. It is important to avoid exposure to DDT through contaminated food or environmental sources to protect human health.
What body tissue is DDT stored in humans?
DDT can be stored in fatty tissues of humans. In women who are pregnant, DDT exposure can occur even in the fetus.
Is DDT is fertiliser?
No, DDT (Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) is not a fertilizer. It is a synthetic pesticide that was widely used in the past for pest control but has since been banned in many countries due to its harmful effects on the environment and human health.
