Atrazine and other corn herbicides are routinely detected in drinking water. Two studies on potential association of atrazine with small-for-gestational-age (SGA) and preterm birth prevalence found inconsistent results. Moreover, these studies did not control for individual-level potential confounders. This retrospective cohort study evaluated whether atrazine in drinking water is associated with increased prevalence of SGA and preterm birth.
