Nearly half a century after DDT was first dumped across acres of North American farmland and 30 years after it was banned in the USA and Canada, the toxic pesticide still has damaging effects on local species, according to a new study. Robins exposed to DDT before birth had damage to regions of the brain that enable them to sing and protect territory. Researchers estimate that at least 15 to 20 generations of robins have been affected since the pesticide was first applied. Source: http://www.organicconsumers.org/2006/article_1209.cfm
