Note: AMD, age-related macular degeneration; DDT, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane; EPTC, S-ethyl dipropylthiocarbamate; ND, not done. Blank cells indicate that no association was present. ND indicates that analyses of correlated pesticides and cumulative use could not be tested for grouped pesticides. +, AMD was associated with the pesticide in the indicated analysis; 2,4-D, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid ; 2,4,5-T, 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid; 2,4,5,-TP, 2-propionic acid (fenoprop).
