The pesticide DDT (Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) can be used under the Annex A restrictions of the Stockholm Convention (Parts I and II) for the purpose of malaria vector control (Stockholm Convention on POPs, 2010). DDT and its metabolites are toxic in nature, have a long halflife of~5e15 years, are transported over great distances in water, wind and biota, and have the ability to bio-accumulate in the food web (Wells and Leonard, 2006). The effect of pesticides and especially DDT on bird eggs is a topical and environmentally relevant research area.
