It elaborates how indiscriminate application of agricultural chemicals, pesticides, and other modern chemicals polluted streams, damaged bird, and animal populations, and caused severe medical problems for humans. She focused in particular on DDT, a long-lived pesticide that builds up, or bioaccumulates, in the bodies of animals. Partly due to the book and Carson’s efforts, the agricultural use of DDT was banned in 1972 in the US.
