Answer:
D.D.T stands for Dichloro Diphenyl Trichloro ethane
Explanation:
- It is a colorless, tasteless, and almost odorless crystalline chemical compound
- It was first used as pesticide to control mosquito from spreading malaria among soldiers in World war II.
- DDT was effective in preventive insect borne human diseases.
- It is a non bio degradable waste, it cannot be decomposed by micro organisms like bacteria, so it can be passed along the food chain
from crops to man or other animals or birds.
- For this reason ,DDT is banned from use in many countries like US, Germany etc
