DDT still haunts us today By Rosanna Xia - Los Angeles Times October 1945: A child crying as she is sprayed with DDT delousing powder at Nikolsburger Platz School in Wilmsdorf, Germany. circa 1955: A woman sprays a DDT aerosol on a domestic window frame to keep insects at bay. About 60 barrels of DDT were visually identified by Jason, a remotely operated robot that also collected samples of nearby sediment with large tubes. When Rachel Carson’s “Silent Spring” first sounded the alarm on DDT and its devastating effects on birds and fish, our understanding of how this pesticide affected humans was just beginning.
