DDT is similar in structure to the insecticide methoxychlor and the acaricide dicofol. The related herbicide methoxychlor is also produced from chloral. A number of hazardous waste sites are known to contain methoxychlor. Tradenames for methoxychlor include "Chemform", "Maralate", "Methoxo", "Methoxcide", "Metox", and "Moxie". Methoxychlor is ingested and absorbed by living organisms, and it accumulates in the food chain.
