DDT affects the environment negatively. In the past, DDT was known to not cause harm in human because the molecules of DDT are not absorbed by the human skin. But new studies suggested that humans actually have DDT on their bodies and it stays on the liver, kidneys and others. DDT is being used in agriculture; it would be drained into the bodies of water where fishes live, the fishes will then be eaten by birds, humans and other predators. This flow of contamination shows the interdependence of life on earth.
