One of the 12 POPS listed by the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants, DDT's allowed use is now restricted to disease vector control, specifically to kill mosquitos spreading malaria in the developing world. The POPs treaty calls for an eventually phase-out of use as cost-effective alternatives are developed. Some agricultural use continues in Asia and also, as indicated by continuing wildlife contamination, in the Americas.
