Answer:
Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane is a pesticide. A pesticide is used to destroy harmful insects of plants and animals. The use of DDT is not advisable because once it enters the food chain its concentration keeps on increasing as it passes to higher trophic levels and disturbs the organisms at those levels.
