o,p′-DDT

Description:
o,p′-DDT, or o,p′-dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, is a synthetic organic compound that belongs to the class of chlorinated hydrocarbons. It is a colorless to pale yellow solid with a characteristic odor. This compound is known for its insecticidal properties and was widely used in agriculture and for vector control in public health, particularly against malaria-carrying mosquitoes. o,p′-DDT is relatively stable in the environment, leading to concerns about its persistence and bioaccumulation in the food chain. Its chemical structure features two aromatic rings with chlorine substituents, contributing to its lipophilicity and resistance to degradation. While effective as a pesticide, o,p′-DDT has been associated with various ecological and health risks, including endocrine disruption in wildlife and potential carcinogenic effects in humans. Due to these concerns, its use has been restricted or banned in many countries since the 1970s, although it remains a topic of study regarding its long-term environmental impact.
