   DDT
   Di-chloro-di-phenyl-tri-chloro-ethane. Used as a Pesticide, it was extensively used during the Second World War among Allied troops and certain civilian populations to control insect typhus and malaria vectors, and was then extensively used as an agricultural insecticide after 1945. When DDT got into the food chain it caused problems at the top, particularly for the Peregrine. The numbers of Peregrine declined rapidly because DDT was causing the egg shells to thin and the eggs to break before hatching.
