Respuesta :
DDT is fat-soluble so it accumulates in milk.
DDT is an insecticide that is used for protecting crops against the invasion of insects. In the 1970s, DDT was banned in many countries due to its toxic effects on humans.
Recent research has shown that residuals of DDT can be seen in the breast milk due to the times when it was not banned and consuming fruits and vegetables from countries which still use DDT.
As DDT is a fat-soluble compound hence it accumulates in the milk. This is the reason that residuals of DDT can be observed in breast milk.
DDT can be carcinogenic as well as can cause bioaccumulation. Efforts are being made to stop the usage of DDT in some of the countries that are still using it. The ability of DDT to accumulate in breast milk puts infants at high risk for developing toxicity.
