dc.description	Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) is one of the best-known synthetic pesticides. It was first synthesized by German chemist Othmar Zeidler in 1874. However, it remained a laboratory curiosity until Swiss chemist Paul Hermann Müller discovered its insecticidal properties in 1939. DDT was adopted for widespread use in public health programs.
