This review shows that the insecticide DDT has been extensively used since 1940's all over the world in tremendous amount. Since 1970's its use has been banned in many countries because of its negative effects on the environment, but it is still legally used in many developing countries. DDT residues or its breakdown products has been found in all components of the environment, including regions where DDT has never been used. DDT is very persistent and its concentrations build up in food chains by bioaccumulation. Numerous adverse biological effects of DDT were observed on humans, wild and experimental animals. They include acute and chronic toxicity, terratogenic, mutagenic, carcinogenic, reproductive, and endocrine effects.
