In models for phenols highlighted in gray effect estimates correspond to change in birth weight z-score in association with ever vs. never detection at visits 1, 2, or 3. Models adjusted for maternal age, race/ethnicity, pre-pregnancy body mass index, and health insurance provider. Abbreviations: 2,4-DCP, 2,4-dichlorophenol; 2,5-DCP, 2,5-dichlorophenol.
