Solution (By Examveda Team)

Spraying DDT produces pollution of Air, water and soil.
Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, commonly known as DDT, is a colorless, tasteless, and almost odorless crystalline chemical compound, an organochloride.
DDT is a persistent organic pollutant that is readily adsorbed to soils and sediments, which can act both as sinks and as long-term sources of exposure affecting organisms. DDT is highly hydrophobic and nearly insoluble in water thus causing water pollution also.
