- Atmospheric deposition
- Soil and sediment runoff
- Improper use and disposal
- In farms and contaminated soil where plants will grow and absorb DDT
- In contaminated water where fishes and shellfish will absorb it
- In medicines: on rare occasions DDT has been administered orally as a treatment for barbiturate poisoning
- Thus we will absorb DDT by eating contaminated marine life and crops. This could then expose infants to DDT when they feed on breast milk
