DDT, or Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, is a chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticide known for its environmental impacts and bioaccumulation in food chains affecting bird populations.
DDT, or Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, is a chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticide that was widely used for pest control.
