Previous studies have reported an increase in adverse birth outcomes among women exposed to VOCs in drinking water.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Objective: We investigated the prevalence of adverse birth outcomes among mothers exposed to trichloroethylene (TCE) and tetrachloroethylene [or perchloroethylene (PCE)] in indoor air contaminated through soil vapor intrusion.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Methods: We examined low birth weight (LBW), preterm birth, fetal growth restriction, and birth defects among births to women in Endicott who were exposed to VOCs, compared with births statewide. We used Poisson regression to analyze births and malformations to estimate the association between maternal exposure to VOCs adjusting for sex, mother\u2019s age, race, education, parity, and prenatal care. Two exposure areas were identified based on environmental sampling data: one area was primarily contaminated with TCE, and the other with PCE.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results: In the TCE-contaminated area, adjusted rate ratios (RRs) were significantly elevated for LBW [RR = 1.36; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.07, 1.73; n = 76], small for gestational age (RR = 1.23; 95% CI: 1.03, 1.48; n = 117), term LBW (RR = 1.68; 95% CI: 1.20, 2.34; n = 37), cardiac defects (RR = 2.15; 95% CI: 1.27, 3.62; n = 15), and conotruncal defects (RR = 4.91; 95% CI: 1.58, 15.24; n = 3). In the PCE-contaminated area, RRs for cardiac defects (five births) were elevated but not significantly. Residual socioeconomic confounding may have contributed to elevations of LBW outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Conclusions: Maternal residence in both areas was associated with cardiac defects. Residence in the TCE area, but not the PCE area, was associated with LBW and fetal growth restriction.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1289\/ehp.1103884","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,12,5]],"date-time":"2011-12-05T10:29:59Z","timestamp":1323080999000},"page":"616-621","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":116,"title":["Adverse Birth Outcomes and Maternal Exposure to Trichloroethylene and Tetrachloroethylene through Soil Vapor Intrusion in New York State"],"prefix":"10.1021","volume":"120","author":[{"given":"Steven P.","family":"Forand","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Bureau of Environmental and Occupational Epidemiology, New York State Department of Health, Troy, New York, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Elizabeth L.","family":"Lewis-Michl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bureau of Environmental and Occupational Epidemiology, New York State Department of Health, Troy, New York, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marta I.","family":"Gomez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bureau of Environmental and Occupational Epidemiology, New York State Department of Health, Troy, New York, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"316","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,12,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026080314055009900_micit1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"163","DOI":"10.1016\/0029-7844(95)00386-X","article-title":"A United States national reference for fetal growth.","volume":"87","author":"Alexander","year":"1996","journal-title":"Obstet Gynecol"},{"key":"2026080314055009900_micit2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"44","DOI":"10.1186\/1476-069X-8-44","article-title":"Prenatal exposure to tetrachloroethylene-contaminated drinking water and the risk of congenital anomalies: a retrospective cohort study.","volume":"8","author":"Aschengrau","year":"2009","journal-title":"Environ Health"},{"key":"2026080314055009900_micit3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"814","DOI":"10.1289\/ehp.10414","article-title":"Prenatal exposure to tetrachloroethylene-contaminated drinking water and the risk of adverse birth outcomes.","volume":"116","author":"Aschengrau","year":"2008","journal-title":"Environ Health Perspect"},{"key":"2026080314055009900_micit4","article-title":"Public Health Addendum.
