据外媒报道，早在60年代杀虫剂ddt被发现对人类和野生动物有毒害，于是此后多年，农民和景观设计师积极采用甲氧滴滴涕（methoxychlor）来替代ddt。
该类杀虫剂包括链霉素（chemform）、甲氧基（methoxo）、甲氧滴滴涕（metox）或灭虫氧（moxie）等。现在，最新研究表明，孕期暴露于这些杀虫剂可能导致后三代的人容易罹患疾病，即使后人没有直接暴露于甲氧滴滴涕。
部分原文报道如下：
in the post-silent spring 1960s, when the pesticide ddt was discovered to be toxic to humans and wildlife and to persist for years in the environment, farmers and landscapers turned enthusiastically to methoxychlor. the pesticide-also commercially known as chemform, methoxo, metox or moxie-had a much shorter half-life and was billed as the safe alternative to ddt. now, new research argues that exposure to the pesticide could cause diseases three generations later, in offspring who were never exposed to the methoxychlor themselves.
