Abstract Background The persistent organochlorine dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) is banned world-wide due to its negative health effects and persistence in the environment. It exceptionally used as an insecticide for malaria control. Exposure occurs regions where DDT applied, well arctic it’s endocrine disrupting metabolite, p,p’- dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene ( DDE) accumulates marine mammals fish. DDE exposures are linked birth defects, infertility, cancer, neurodevelopmental...
