The July 2007 issue of NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC makes it very clear that DDT is not a problem for use in the third world.
The only issue they had with its use in the U.S. was its overuse by farmers, causing saturation which was totally unnecessary.
Tell that to the enviro-whack-jobs.
WHO approved DDT for use in late 2006, they have been fighting it ever since.
WHO spent 35 years and cost 30+ million lives to prove DDT did no harm to the environment, not even over use.
The intent of EPA banning DDT by fiat in 1972, based on no science, was to prevent people from populating the pristine wilderness and modernizing Africa which has some of the most polluted rivers on the planet.
