David Beaumont Peakall (17 March 1931 – 18 August 2001) was an internationally recognised toxicologist. His research into the effects of DDE and DDT on eggshells contributed to the ban on DDT in the United States. He proved that the chemicals caused thinning of eggshells, leading to a reduction in the population of various bird species. He also pioneered research on the effects of PCBs on birds.

(en) David Beaumont Peakall (17 mars 1931 - 18 août 2001) était un toxicologue britannique internationalement reconnu. Sa recherche sur les effets de dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylène et du DDT sur les coquilles d'œuf a contribué à l'interdiction du DDT aux États-Unis. Il a prouvé que ces produits chimiques ont causé une fragilité des coquilles, entraînant à une réduction des populations de diverses espèces d'oiseau. Il a aussi été un pionnier de la recherche sur les effets de PCB sur les oiseaux. (fr)
