DDT Exposure ProfileThis profile is used to monitor exposure to DDT pesticides. DDT pesticide poisoning is characterized by neurological abnormalities, including general weakness, EEG changes, muscle jerking, and emotional changes. Exposure to DDT pesticides at high concentrations may lead to unconsciousness and death. DDT pesticides were employed in both agricultural and domestic environments. DDT pesticides fall under governmental regulations due to their persistence in the environment and potential for promoting health hazards. DDD and DDE are both metabolites of DDT, which was initially banned in 1973. However, DDT can be detected in people born after 1973. DDT persists in the environment and it has been suggested that it may be coming into the country in imported food.
