Grimalt Comunicación DDT Science and policy wetland preservation chemical compound governance international management bodies A key element in the improvement of human living conditions brought about by the Industrial Revolution was the synthesis of new chemical compounds, such as dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT). These innovations had positive effects on humans and, indirectly, on some ecosystems, such as wetlands. However, many of these compounds also had harmful effects on both humans and wildlife, which were only discovered decades after they were first used.
