Abbreviations: CI, confidence interval; Post, postintervention; Pre, Preintervention. aPercent change in the GM between the two time periods, with GMs of the two time periods shown in parentheses. bEach change estimate represents the slope between the two time periods. *p < 0.05, and **p < 0.005. The intercept (which represents the log concentration during the intervention) was significant for all models except BPA. Creatinine and age (adult vs. child) were included in all models; creatinine was significant for MEOHP, MEP, MBUP, MBZP, MMEP; age was significant for MEP, MBUP, MBZP, and MMEP; sex was not significant in any of the models and was not included in the final models.
