Answer:

"Rachel Louise Carson" was an American marine biologist responsible for high-lighting public awareness about the danger of using DDT.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Rachel Louise Carson" was an American conservationist, great author, and Marine biologist. Her writing on the dangers of using DDT (Pesticides and Chemical fertilizers) in agriculture and its later effect helped to start the "modern environmental movement".

Rachel Carson Highlighted the effects of over-using of DDT in her book "silent spring" 1962. In this book, she tells the wide picture of using DDT and its effect and raised the question in front of the government to make Environment protection laws.

Later, her efforts were appreciated and congress established the "Environment protection agency".
