Separate models created for each biomarker

1

Models control for maternal age, parity, season of birth, household income as a proportion of poverty at baseline, child’s family history of asthma, active and passive smoking during pregnancy, furry pets in the home during pregnancy, and housing density during pregnancy

2

Models control for maternal age, parity, season of birth, household income as a proportion of poverty at baseline, child’s family history of asthma, active and passive smoking during pregnancy, furry pets in the home during pregnancy, housing density during pregnancy, monocarboxyisooctyl phthalate, the sum of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate metabolites, monobenzyl phthalate

3

Models control for maternal age, parity, season of birth, household income as a proportion of poverty at baseline, child’s family history of asthma, active and passive smoking during pregnancy, furry pets in the home during pregnancy, housing density during pregnancy, monocarboxyisooctyl phthalate, mono-isobutyl phthalate, the sum of di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate metabolites

4

Models control for maternal age, parity, season of birth, household income as a proportion of poverty at baseline, child’s family history of asthma, active and passive smoking during pregnancy, furry pets in the home during pregnancy, housing density during pregnancy, mono-n-butyl phthalate, 2,5 dichlorophenol, monobenzyl phthalate [Regressions of 2,4-dichlorophenol did not control for 2,5-dichlorophenol due to high collinearity.]
