Values for individual urinary metabolites were averaged over of samples collected at 13 and 26 weeks of gestation, after randomly imputing values in individual samples using a lognormal distribution. Detection frequency ranges for the individual DEs (sum of diethylphosphate, diethylthiophosphate, and diethyldithiophosphate metabolites) at 13 weeks were 45–55%, DEs at 26 weeks were 25–99%, DMs (sum of dimethylphosphate, dimethylthiophosphate, dimethyldithiophosphate metabolites) at 13 weeks were 51–65% and DMs at 26 weeks were 5–99%. DM metabolite concentrations were available for all participants (), DE metabolite concentrations were missing for one participant, resulting in 247 values for total DEs and total DAPs.
