DDT and Related Compounds

  • Chapter
Mass Spectrometry in Environmental Sciences

Abstract

DDT is probably the most notorious of all compounds in the group of insecticides of the chlorinated hydrocarbon type. Due to its low price, the result of a simple synthetic route using cheap starting materials, DDT has been used on a global scale in enormous quantities since World War II. It has been estimated that more than 2 billion kilos has been used since 1940.
