Answer:

It does not decompose quickly.

Explanation:

DDT stands for <em>"Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane." </em>It is an insecticide that doesn't break down easily. It becomes toxic to the environment and to the people because<em> it lasts so many years</em>. Some may be bound to the particles in the soil and these are <em>carried into the bodies of water</em>. They could also be carried by migrating birds. This allows the DDT to travel a long distance from the area it was used. This could also <u><em>kill the plant and animal directly</em></u> or could <u><em>affect the animal's way of life </em></u>such as<em> not being able to reproduce </em>and so on.
