dc.description.abstractUrine collected from pregnant women close to the time of delivery was analyzed for the suspected endocrine disrupting chemicals BPA (bisphenol A) and the metabolites of the common phthalate DEHP. Both of these are commonly found in consumer products. Urine levels of these chemicals were examined for their association with gestational age, anogential distance and genital abnormalities. Statistically significant associations were found between urine levels of both the DEHP metabolite, MEHHP and BPA and gestational age. No clear association was observed between urine levels of DEHP metabolites or BPA and anogenital distance or genital abnormalities. Given the significant national exposure to MEHHP and the evidence that there may be a New Jersey-specific elevation in phthalate exposure, these observations suggest the need for further elucidation of New Jersey specific exposures.en_US
