Answer:

Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, also commonly known as DDT, is a colorless, tasteless, and almost odorless crystalline chemical compound, an organochlorine. Originally developed as an insecticide, it became infamous for the environmental impacts it has. DDT was first synthesized in 1874 by the chemist Othmar Zeidler. DDT's insecticidal action was discovered by the chemist Paul Hermann Muller in 1939. DDT was commonly used in the second half of World War II to control malaria and typhus among civilians and troops. Muller was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1948 "for his discovery of the high efficiency of DDT as a contact poison against several arthropods".
