DDT
Reason: DDT is a pesticide widely used to increase crop yields and control insect-borne disease, but it bioaccumulates and caused harm to wildlife (e.g., eggshell thinning) and raised health concerns for humans, leading to restrictions and bans. Polio is a disease, a vaccine prevents disease, and plastic dust is not a pesticide.
