उत्तर
DDT is responsible for a decline in bird population due to its biomagnification through the food chain. High concentrations of DDT accumulate in birds, especially fish-eating birds, disturbing their calcium metabolism. This leads to thinning of eggshells, causing eggs to break prematurely and reducing the reproductive success of birds, ultimately causing a decline in their population.
