Question

What were some of the concerns that led to the banning of DDT in the United States and other developed countries? Do you believe that the hazards associated with DDT outweigh the pesticide’s benefits?

Answer 1

DDT is an extremely disastrous pesticide we utilized primarily in the mid to late twentieth century.

It was created during the 1940s and was the first of new manufactured pesticides, it was utilized to incredible impact to battle bug spread illnesses, for example, Malaria and Typhus.

Be that as it may, amid investigations of the DDT pesticide amid the 1950s and 1960s by the U.S. Bureau of Agriculture, an organization accountable for controlling pesticides before the U.S. Ecological Protection Agency in 1970, discovered proof of the negative impacts of DDT's advantages, it's effect on the earth and its poisonous quality, gradually precluding it's employments.

In 1972, not long after the framing of the U.S. Natural Protection Agency, an abrogation request of the pesticide was made on it's consequences for Wildlife and the conceivable hazard towards people.

A case of the impacts that were seen on Wildlife were that of the breakdown of Peregrine Falcon numbers;

The winged animals the Falcons chased ate creepy crawlies slaughtered by DDT, the bug eating feathered creatures would bit by bit get a development of DDT inside themselves which would be passed onto the Falcons once they were executed and eaten, this gathered DDT into the Falcons,

Falcons had a lot of DDT develop in them and one of the negative impacts it had on them was on their egg's, the shells of the eggs were more slender and significantly less more grounded than they ought to be, they couldn't bolster the developing posterity.

According to me it's correct to ban those chemical which tends to destroy or produce harmful effect to our environment
