DDT was used in the second half of World War II to control malaria and typhus among civilians and troops. Its publication was a seminal event for the environmental movement and resulted in a large public outcry that eventually led, in 1972, to a ban on DDT's agricultural use in the United States.

SO the correct answer is '1972'.
