“…In the northern KwaZulu-Natal, a province of South Africa where DDT has been used for more than 80 years for malaria control, aquatic bird eggs including Pelican eggs, Little Egret eggs, African Openbill eggs and White-breasted Cormorant eggs were still showed DDT residues (Bouwman et al, 2019). In addition, higher concentrations of DDT (969.52 pg/g) were observed than the other pesticides in soil samples from Amghara, Kuwai (Alshemmari, 2023). Thus, wildlife, especially avian embryos in fertilized eggs, is still at risk of DDT.…”
