Atrazine in municipal drinking water and risk of low birth weight, preterm delivery, and small-for-gestational-age status

Abstract

Low levels of atrazine, a narrow exposure range, and limitations in the exposure assessment partly explain the lack of associations with atrazine. Findings point to the third trimester of pregnancy as the potential vulnerable period for an increased risk of SGA birth. Exposures other than atrazine and also seasonal factors may explain the increased risk.
