SilentSpring,however,toldabouttheothersideofDDTanditsrelatives.Usingcarefullycollectedscientificevidence,theauthorshowedthatDDTandsimilarpesticideshadatleasttwodangeroussideeffects.Oneofthesewasthetendencyofpesticidestokillalloftheinsectsinthelocationwheretheywereused.Notallinsectsareharmful,however.Manybees,forexample,perform.necessaryfunctions,suchaspollinatingplantsandevencontrollingthenumbersofother,moreharmful,insects.Whenusefulinsectsareeliminated,theresulthasoftenbeengreaterproblemsthanbeforethepesticidewasused.Asecondproblemwithchlorinatedhydrocarbonsisthattheydonotdisappearquickly;theyarestablechemicalsthataccumulateinthebodiesofinsectsandthebirdsandanimalsthateatthemandcontinuetodoharmwhenandwheretheeffectwasnotintended.BirdsareespeciallyaffectedbyDDT-typepesticides.Manybirdseatinsectsandwormsasfood,andthechemicalsthatwereintheinsectscollectintheirbodies,frequentlyleadingtotheirdeath.AsSilentSpringdemonstratedsoclearly,thedisappearanceofmanykindsofbirdswasduetothepresenceofpesticidesintheirfoodsources.
