Answer:
Acute toxicity. DDT is classified as "moderately toxic" by the US National Toxicology Program (NTP) and "moderately hazardous" by WHO, based on the rat oral LD 50 of 113 mg/kg. Indirect exposure is considered relatively non-toxic for humans.

Answer:
Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane.
DDT was found to be effective against lice, fleas, and mosquitoes (the carriers of typhus, of plague, and of malaria and yellow fever, respectively) as well as the Colorado potato beetle, the gypsy moth, and other insects that attack valuable crops.
It is highly toxic toward a wide variety of insects as a contact poison that apparently exerts its effect by disorganizing the nervous system.
