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.

Diklordifenyltrikloretan (DDT) är ett insektsgift som introducerades 1942. DDT används i tropiska områden som har problem med insektsburen malaria och tyfus. Det sprejas då främst inomhus, för att undvika spridning i naturen; medlet är lågt toxiskt för människor. Tidigare användes DDT i stor skala på åkrar, men sådan användning är i de flesta länder förbjuden sedan 1970-talet. Ämnet DDT har det fullständiga kemiska namnet 1,1,1-triklor-2,2-bis (4-klorbensen)etan. Halveringstiden för DDT beräknas till 15 år i jord, 350 dagar i ytvatten och 31 år i grundvatten.

Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) is a colorless, tasteless, and almost odorless crystalline chemical compound, an organochloride. Originally developed as an insecticide, it became infamous for its environmental impacts. DDT was first synthesized in 1874 by the Austrian chemist Othmar Zeidler. DDT's insecticidal action was discovered by the Swiss chemist Paul Hermann Müller in 1939. DDT was used in the second half of World War II to limit the spread of the insect-borne diseases malaria and typhus among civilians and troops. Müller was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 19
