Disinfection By-Product Exposures and the Risk of Specific Cardiac Birth Defects

Conclusions: To our knowledge, this is the first birth defect study to develop multi-DBP adjusted regression models and is the second study to evaluate HAAs or brominated DBP exposures. Our findings, therefore, inform exposure specificity for the consistent associations previously reported between THM4 and CVDs including VSDs.
