DDT

Construct a molecular structure model of pesticide DDT (Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) utilizing Genuine Molymod Components from Indigo.

What is DDT?

DDT (Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) is an insecticide that was used in the attempted eradication of malaria carrying mosquitoes but is now banned in most countries. Side effects include: it persists in the environment; accumulates in fatty tissues; can cause adverse health effects on wildlife such as thinning of bird egg shells especially in top predators.
