Dichloro Diphenyl Trichloroethane(DDT) is chlorinated hydrocarbon which is a non-water solution. This was used during the World War II as an insecticide against lice and mosquitoes.
It was banned in the 1970s as it had been used as a pesticide. Birds which were exposed to it were said to have developed reproductive issues as well as liver conditions.
Another reason for the ban was its exposure to humans as it was suspected that if it affects animals it may affect humans too
