DDT (dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane) was developed as a synthetic insecticide in the 1940s. It was initially used to combat malaria, typhus, and other insect-borne diseases. The EPA banned DDT in 1972 after research showed harmful impacts to wildlife and potential human health risks. Notably, the preface of this report states that "the material presented carries no representation or warranty regarding the use or safety of DDT formulations."
