The ban on DDT was purely politucal. DDT is not a carcinigen and is much cheaper and safer than other peticides used today.

Follow the money

DDT was patented in the US in 1943. The patent expired in 1960, which allowed generic manufacture of DDT. Silent Spring, and the drive to ban DDT started immediately thereafter

Many thanks!!

So much of what I've found is money driven or based on an evil ideology of killing off the population in 3rd world countries!!
