	ATSDR - ToxFAQs™: DDT, DDE, and DDD
		DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) is a pesticide once widely used to control insects in agriculture and insects that carry diseases such as malaria.
		DDT entered the environment when it was used as a pesticide; it still enters the environment due to current use in other countries.
		DDT, DDE, and DDD in air are rapidly broken down by sunlight.

	DDT (professional wrestling) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The classic DDT is performed by putting the opponent in a front facelock and falling backwards so that the opponent is forced to dive forward onto his or her head.
		Many think the term DDT was appropriated because the chemical DDT is something "bad" that is buried in the ground and causes extreme danger when there; similarly, a DDT is bad in that it buries an opponent's head into the mat, causing extreme danger to the brain and spinal cord.
		Implant DDT refers to variations of the DDT where the opponent is driven to the mat face first, as in a faceplant, and not on to their heads.

	DDT - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		DDT was subsequently banned for agricultural use in many countries in the 1970s; there is still a great controversy regarding the impact of this decision on the use of DDT to fight disease vectors.
		DDT was first synthesized in 1874 by Othmar Zeidler, but its insecticidal properties were not discovered until 1939, by the Swiss scientist Paul Hermann Müller, who was awarded the 1948 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine for his efforts.
		DDT is the best-known of a number of chlorine-containing pesticides used in the 1940s and 1950s.

	DDT
		DDT is moderately to slightly toxic to mammals.
		In a survey of non-indigenous deep water fish and shell fish, low levels of DDT residues and metabolites were found in 16 (50%) of the deep water samples and three (19%) of the 16 shell fish samples analysed.
		DDT is one of nine persistent organic pollutants (POPs) which bioaccumulate, and which are transported by air and water currents from warmer climates to temperate zones, where they have never been used.

		DDT is the totemic baddy of the green movement.
		In South Africa the government stopped using DDT in 1996 - and since then malaria rates have risen by around 1000 percent, because mosquitoes are becoming resistant to the new generation of pesticides.
		Since DDT was reintroduced in South Africa in April 2000, the number of mosquitoes is down.

	DDT (PIM 127)
		DDT and some of the breakdown products of DDT, principally DDE, are highly persistent in soil, sediment and biota as they are relatively resistant to breakdown by the enzymes and higher organisms found in the soil (WHO, 1979).
		DDT and its metabolites are highly toxic to fish and, besides their lethal effects, they affect development, behaviour and biochemical processes.
		DDT is relatively non volatile and, although inhalation of spray drift may occur during occupational use, respiratory exposure is a less significant route.

	DDT
		DDT the first of the chlorinated organic insecticides, was originally prepared in 1873, but it was not until 1939 that Paul Muller of Geigy Pharmaceutical in Switzerland discovered the effectiveness of DDT as an insecticide he was awarded the Nobel Prize in medicine and physiology in 1948 for this discovery).
		DDT seemed to be the ideal insecticideit is cheap and of relatively low toxicity to mammals (oral LD50 is 300 to 500 mg/kg).
		The buildup of DDT in natural waters is a reverisble process: the EPA reported a 90% reduction of DDT in Lake Michigan fish by 1978 as a result of the ban.

	NRDC: The Story of Silent Spring
		Thirteen years later, in 1958, Carson's interest in writing about the dangers of DDT was rekindled when she received a letter from a friend in Massachusetts bemoaning the large bird kills which had occured on Cape Cod as the result of DDT sprayings.
		The use of DDT had proliferated greatly since 1945 and Carson again tried, unsuccessfully, to interest a magazine in assigning her the story of its less desirable effects.
		By 1958 Carson was a best-selling author, and the fact that she could not obtain a magazine assignment to write about DDT is indicative of how heretical and controversial her views on the subject must have seemed.

	WHO \| WHO gives indoor use of DDT a clean bill of health for controlling malaria
		WHO actively promoted indoor residual spraying for malaria control until the early 1980s when increased health and environmental concerns surrounding DDT caused the organization to stop promoting its use and to focus instead on other means of prevention.
		In the past, India was able to use DDT effectively in indoor residual spraying to cut dramatically the number of malaria cases and fatalities.
		South Africa has again re-introduced DDT for indoor residual spraying to keep malaria case and fatality numbers at all-time low levels and move towards malaria elimination.

		DDT was not banned in Sri Lanka in 1963.
		However, as explained in my posts on DDT, DDT is not banned from use against malaria, and while it is still helps against malaria in some places, it is not the panacea that Kopel et al make it out to be.

		DDT has been banned globally for every use except fighting disease because of its environmental impacts and fears for human health.
		WHO says there is no health risk, and DDT should rank with bednets and drugs as a tool for combating malaria, which kills more than one million each year.
		South Africa was one country that switched, but it had to return to DDT at the beginning of the decade after mosquitoes developed resistance to the substitute compounds.

		DDT - An obsolete organo-chlorine insecticide, classified as a persistent organic polllutant (POP).
		Many of these have now been banned after they were belatedly found to be highly persistent in the environment and cause long-term toxic effects in wildlife.
		For example, populations of birds of prey were devastated when DDT caused their egg-shells to become thinner and subsequently break.

	DDT > Toxics > Sierra Club
		DDT and its breakdown chemicals are synthetic, persistent global pollutants that have been found in residents of remote areas where DDT has never been used, including Inuit and other Arctic peoples.
		Under closely controlled conditions and as part of a broader, integrated response, Sierra Club agrees that DDT should only be used in accordance with limiting provisions agreed to by more than 150 nations in the Stockholm Convention.
		Sierra Club believes that DDT should be considered as the option of last resort only, when all feasible non-toxic and less toxic alternatives have been tried and proven ineffective.

	Documentation for Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health Concentrations (IDLHs) - 50293
		TWA; NIOSH considers DDT to be a potential occupational carcinogen as defined by the OSHA carcinogen policy [29 CFR 1990].
		AIHA [1959] reported that the concentration immediately hazardous to life is "probably unobtainable," and that DDT has a low order of acute toxicity by inhalation.
		However, for some particulate substances for which no evidence of an IDLH exists, the determination of allowable respiratory protection based on protection factors may result in the assignment of respirators for concentrations that are not likely to be encountered in the occupational environment.
