CAS 50-29-3: DDT
Description:DDT, or dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, is a synthetic organic compound known for its insecticidal properties. It is characterized by its chemical formula C14H9Cl5 and belongs to the class of chlorinated hydrocarbons. DDT is a colorless, crystalline solid that is relatively stable and has low solubility in water but high solubility in organic solvents. Its mode of action involves disrupting the nervous system of insects, making it effective against a variety of pests. However, DDT is also notorious for its environmental persistence and bioaccumulation in the food chain, leading to significant ecological and health concerns. It has been linked to adverse effects on wildlife, particularly birds, where it can cause eggshell thinning and population declines. Due to these environmental impacts, DDT was banned or restricted in many countries starting in the 1970s, although it is still used in some regions for vector control against malaria. Its legacy continues to influence discussions on pesticide regulation and environmental health.
