- DDT is an insecticide used
to control insect-borne diseases.
- Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) is a organochlorine
contact insecticide that kills by acting as a nerve poison.
- DDT was originally used
during World War II to control typhus which was spread by the body
louse.
- DDT is moderately to
slightly toxic to mammals.
- DDT is very fat-soluble and
is therefore found in fatty foods such as meat and diary
products.
- DDT, DDD and DDE are all
strongly suspected of being environmental endocrine disrupters
(chemicals that affect the hormonal system.
- DDT is one of nine
persistent organic pollutants (POPs) which bioaccumulate, and which are
transported by air and water currents from warmer
climates to
temperate zones, where they have never been used.
- DDT is an organochlorine,
similar in structure to the insecticide methoxychlor and the acaricide
dicofol.
- DDT is available in several
different forms: aerosols, dustable powders, emulsifiable concentrates,
granules and wettable powders.
- DDT and DDE, like other
organochlorines, have been shown to have xenoestrogenic activity,
meaning they are chemically similar enough to
estrogens to trigger
hormonal responses in animals.
- DDT is created by the
reaction of trichloromethanal with chlorobenzene (C6H5Cl).
- A screening-level assessment
was conducted to characterize the level of impact that would result from
0.1% DDT contamination in the dicofol
product formulations.
- Specific binding sites for
DDT and cis-permethrin have been detected in the central nervous system
of the tobacco budworm, Heliothis virescens (F.). and its predator,
Chrysopn carnea Stephens.
- The application of laccase
from white-rot fungi (polyporus) is to remove
dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane in soil.
- To development an
immunodetection method for DDT,
1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(4-chorophenyl)ethane (p,p’- DDT) and its
metabolites five derivatives of DDT haptens have been synthesised and
characterized as coating ligands for antibody evaluation.
- The potential for
biodegradation of DDT by soil microorganisms through enrichment and
isolation of DDT biodegraders from soils without a history of prior
exposure to DDT was done.
- A novel technique has been
used for detection of the organochlorine insecticide compound
dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) by measuring
the
nanometer-scale bending of a microcantilever produced by differential
surface stress.
- A novel technique, high
temperature headspace liquid-phase microextraction (HS-LPME) with room
temperature ionic liquid (RTIL), 1-butyl-
3-methylimidazolium
hexafluorophosphate ([C4MIM][PF6]) as extractant, was developed for the
analysis of dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane
(p,p -DDTand o,p -DDT)
and its metabolites.
- An improved activated carbon
technique using dichloromethane instead of chloroform, and slower
leaching rate of 15 mL/min to quantify DDT and its metabolites in
surface water.
- Dicofol - the active
ingredient being a mixture of approximately 80% p,p’-dicofol and 20%
o,p’-dicofol - is produced by hydroxylation of DDT as emulsifiable
concentrate and wettable powder formulations.
- The World Health
Organization issued a position statement promoting the use of indoor
residual spraying (IRS) with
dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT)
for malaria vector control in epidemic and endemic areas.
