Passage

No matter where you live or when you were born, you almost surely have at least a small amount of

DDT stored in the fatty tissues of your body. Why? This notorious toxic pesticide, which led to the

extinction of the American bald eagle in 1970s, has long been banned in the L.S. and most other

developed countries. But according to a new report by the World Wildlife Fund in Washington,

DDT is still used in many developing nations, mainly because it's so effective in controlling

mosquitoes that carry the malaria parasite. The persistence of DDT is a problem-and not just in the

countries that use it. DDT and several other common chlorine-containing pesticides are sturdy

molecules that can stay intact for decades. They evaporate into the atmosphere and are blown by

the wind all over the globe. They condense and fall to the ground in cold weather, especially in

higher altitudes. Some of the highest concentrations of DDT are found in polar bears, penguins

and the Inuit people of northern Canada. Although levels of DDT contamination are gradually

falling in countries where the pesticide has been banned, new scientific research suggests that the

chemicals are still a serious threat everywhere.

Studies show that even small amounts of pesticides can disrupt the working of human

hormones, interfering with reproduction and the functioning of the immune system. That’s why

representatives of more than 100 nations gathered at a U.N. meeting in Nairobi to work toward

a global treaty that would phase out DDT and 11 other pesticides, known as the “dirty

dozen.” Environmentalists say it's possible to find alternative way to tight malaria---and get rid

of DDT once and for all.
