Part Description

LP15061-2   Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane
Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) is an organochlorine insecticide used to manage mosquito-born malaria. DDT was heavily used during World War II to protect the troops from insect typhus and malaria vectors. Post 1945, DDT was broadly applied to crops as an insecticide. Sweden banned the use of DDT in 1970 and the United States followed suit in 1972. Technical grade DDT is comprised of three isomers which are: p,p-DDT isomer, which is the most abundant and o,p'-DDT and o,o'-DDT that are present in much lower quantities. DDT is easily absorbed in the intestinal tract, but not as easily absorbed through the skin unless it is in solution. Symptoms of low to moderate exposure to DDT by humans include nausea, diarrhea, increased liver enzymes, irritation of the eyes, nose or throat, disturbed gait, malaise, and excitability. Tremors and convulsions can occur in humans at increased levels of exposure. Experimental animals exposed to DDT have experienced damage to the nervous system, liver, kidney and immune system. In contrast, humans have shown no evidence of liver, kidney or immune system damage due to DDT exposure. DDT is highly toxic to aquatic wildlife, especially invertebrates and fish. The thinning of egg shells of birds exposed to DDT is thought to be due to DDE, the primary metabolite of DDT. DDT is very slow to decompose in the soil and its estimated half-life is 2-15 years. In water, the half-life of DDT in lakes is 56 days and in rivers is 28 days.[http://pmep.cce.cornell.edu/profiles/extoxnet/carbaryl-dicrotophos/ddt-ext.html] Source: Regenstrief LOINC
