Thanks so much for the links. If you ever decide to continue researching this, this sub would be a great place. I know it would get a lot of attention.

DDT has been banned in the USA since the 1970s and is not commonly used in most countries around the world. Nonetheless, the substance has been detected in Antarctican penguins decades later: https://www.vims.edu/research/topics/global_change/ts_archive/ddt_ice.php

There's also some concern that glacial melting in Antarctica could release large amounts of this xenoestrogen into the environment.
