DDT is very dangerous to any living creature. DDT is insoluble in water, but soluble in lipids (fats). If DDT is breathed in it will get trapped in the fat pockets of the body. Onve DDT is there, it stays there for 6-9 years or even life.
DDT has been linked to cases of diabetes in places like the USA, Canada, and Sweden. DDT has also been studied to see if DDT is a cause of breast cancer. Studies show that women who were ages below 10 during the use of DDT have a higher risk of cancer than women who were older than 14 at their first exposure.
DDT does not only affect us humans but it affects other living creatures like birds. DDT has been proven to be the cause of eggshell thinning of Bald Eagles.
