AI overview
DDT is a chemical insecticide that was developed in the 1930s and widely used during World War II to control disease-carrying insects like mosquitoes and lice. While it was effective at preventing malaria and typhus, DDT later became notorious for causing significant environmental damage, leading to restrictions on its use in many countries.
