The pesticide DDT was first made by a chemical company in 1939 and became widely used worldwide. Evidence that DDT builds up in

animal tissues and may cause health problems such as cancer and damage to organs, as detailed in Rachel Carson’s book Silent Spring, resulted in DDT being banned in the US in 1972. How do you suppose science and society were affected by the ban of DDT?

DDT ban was good for society, as it was posing major threats to the health of all the organisms and could cause various forms of cancers, male infertility, low birth rates, miscarriages, damages in the liver and nervous system, as well as developmental delay. DDT was able to accumulate into body fat, thyroid, adrenal glands, liver, and kidneys. This was causing accumulation of DDT in the food chain and was a concern for both social and scientific societies. Its ban has mitigated these threats but control of mosquitoes still remains a challenge and scientists are since then focussing on the development of ew strategies for controlling the same.

Why do the Nazis want the Nazi-Soviet Nonaggression Pact?
VladimirAG [237]

<em>They wanted to invade Poland.</em>

Explanation:

Germany, ruled by Hitler during this time, wanted to essentially take over Europe and spread Nazism. Hitler wanted to keep expanding and he wanted to expand into Poland as well.

On August 23, 1939, Germany and the Soviet Union had signed a non-aggression pact called the German-Soviet Nonaggression Pact. This meant that they had signed an agreement not to attack each other for ten years.

Hitler signed this non-aggression pact because he wanted to be able to invade Poland without fighting the Soviet Union. He knew he would have to be fighting the forces from Great Britain and France on the west and didn't want his east to be fighting him as well.

How did hitler government respond to the depession?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]
The German economy was especially vulnerable since it was built upon foreign capital, mostly loans from America and was very dependent on foreign trade. When those loans suddenly came due and when the world market for German exports dried up, the well oiled German industrial machine quickly ground to a halt.
