Although there is currently no direct link between
DDT and any negative human health effect, there is growing evidence that it may disrupt reproductive and endocrine function.
Advocates of the continuing use of DDT as an insecticide for disease vector control base their
argument on various factors: the unacceptably high levels of mortality and morbidity caused by
malaria, the proven effectiveness of DDT in significantly reducing malaria transmission, the
relatively low cost of DDT interventions, and the lack of any sustainable alternative in many
endemic countries. They argue that the negative environmental and other effects associated
with DDT use in the past reflect the massive uptake and bioaccumulation arising from the high amounts used as general agricultural pesticide. The amount of DDT used for disease vector
control is negligible compared with that used in agriculture. The advocates also argue that
when strictly used indoors, as recommended by WHO, DDT poses very little if any environmental
threat.
