Yes this is true.
Explanation:
Rachel Carson gathered evidence that the use of pesticides and insecticides harmed animals and created abnormalities within humans as well.
At the time, people had desire to control and "tame" nature, so many of these pesticides were sprayed in many places to kill and prevent disease-carrying bugs (mosquitoes - malaria). People realized the environment was being destroyed.
One specific pesticide, known as DDT, was widely used and had many damaging effects.
Carson studied these results and collected her evidence on the material harming the environment.
