Vedclass · Answer

(D) $DDT$ (Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) is a persistent organic pollutant. $1$. It is a potent insecticide and an organochlorine compound. $2$. It is lipophilic (fat-soluble) and non-biodegradable,meaning it accumulates in the fatty tissues of organisms. $3$. Because it is fat-soluble,it can be excreted through milk in mammals,making milk a carrier. $4$. $DDT$ is notorious for undergoing biomagnification,where its concentration increases at higher trophic levels in a food web. Therefore,the statement that $DDT$ does not undergo biomagnification is incorrect.
