Use pattern

No information was supplied by governments on registered or recommended uses of DDT in agriculture. An evaluation by the Pesticide Action Network (PAN, 1991) showed that DDT is banned (all uses prohibited by final regulatory action owing to health or environmental hazards) in 29 countries, severely restricted (most uses prohibited owing to health or environmental hazards, certain specific uses remain authorized) in 23 countries, and unregistered (no registered uses, but not explicitly banned) in 4 countries.
