Answer:
It does not decompose quickly.
Step-by-step explanation:
DDT stands for "Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane." It is an insecticide that doesn't break down easily. It becomes toxic to the environment and to the people because it lasts so many years. Some may be bound to the particles in the soil and these are carried into the bodies of water. 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 kill the plant and animal directly or could affect the animal's way of life such as not being able to reproduce and so on.
