DDT is not very soluble in water. It is more soluble in organic solvents like benzene and ethanol.
DDT is not soluble in water.
Your premise is incorrect; DDT does not kill birds. DDT kills mosquitoes.
DDT, or dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, is not particularly reactive with water. It is only slightly soluble in water and tends to persist in the environment for long periods of time. However, DDT can undergo hydrolysis in the presence of water under certain conditions.
DDT is a fat-soluble compound, meaning it dissolves in fats and oils but is not water-soluble. This property allows DDT to accumulate in the fatty tissues of organisms, leading to potential bioaccumulation and biomagnification in the food chain.

DDT entered the food chain because it was in the water of the fish that bald eagles ate.
Some of the pesticides sprayed on farm crops wash off in the rain and get into the waterways. The water plants absorb the pesticides.
The concentration of DDT is lower in water than in organisms because of bioaccumulation. Organisms absorb DDT from water through their food or direct exposure, leading to higher concentrations in their bodies compared to the surrounding environment. As DDT moves up the food chain, its concentration increases at each trophic level, resulting in higher levels in organisms than in the water.
They got endangere because of the use of DDT and oher pesticides basicly the DDT poisons the rabbits and stuff and in turn poison the falcons
When DDT is applied to soil, water or other materials it does not decompose or biodegrade rapidly. As consequence it is slowly washed out with the water flows into groundwater or surface flows into streams. These flows eventually reach lakes and oceans with the DDT content still intact. The biggest problem was the over application of DDT which exceeded the absorptive capacity of the environment leaving a surplus to become mobile in water flows.
because when it was applied to soil it didn't go away so when the soil was washed into rivers and stuff it was in the water.
