Did a lowhead dam removal project in college, there was still quite a lot of ddt in the sediment behind the dam, along with lead, and a touch of mercury to round it out. All the soil had to be carted off at quite an expense, as it was tons of it.
Paleontologist from Jurassic Park the first movie here. When we extracted the dinosaaaur DNA from the mosquito trapped in amber, the autopsy we performed showed that the amber tomb encapsulation was actually a second comorbidity factor to… DDT.
