was ddt used to create malaria vaccine
First synthesized in 1874, DDT's insecticidal action was discovered by the Swiss chemist Paul Hermann MÃ¼ller in 1939. It was used in the second half of World War II to control malaria and typhus among civilians and troops.
In this letter, we explain why we believe DDT is a legitimate tool of malaria control, and why a two-phase ban is justified. It is our wish that you find this information useful in pressuring developed states to negotiate a POPs Treaty that respects both the environment and human health.
