Its efficacy against mosquitoes that carry malaria and other insects that harm crops led to a dramatic increase in its usage worldwide following World War II. DDT, on the other hand, has been widely used since the 1940s. Toxic for fishes, DDT acquired tolerance in many insect species. When it comes to animals, DDT is not readily metabolized, but instead accumulates and is retained in fatty tissues. As long as the animals continue to eat DDT at the same rate, it builds up in their bodies.
