Pre-Maria samples restricted to women who became pregnant after 1/1/2016; Women pregnant during Maria could contribute to both PRE-MARIA and POST-MARIA samples depending on timing of urine sample collection.

p-values for difference between pre-hurricane samples and all post-hurricane samples, from mixed models accounting for within person correlation across samples. Blue shading indicates lower post-Maria concentrations, orange shading indicates higher post-Maria concentrations.

p-values for difference between pre-hurricane samples and post-hurricane samples collected in 2017 (within approximately 3 months after Hurricane Maria), from mixed models accounting for within person correlation across samples. Blue shading indicates lower post-Maria concentrations, orange shading indicates higher post-Maria concentrations.
