Atrazine was associated with PTD in areas with low well use. Nitrate was associated with very VPTD and very VLBW in areas of low well use. A strong interaction was observed between atrazine and nitrate for PTD. These associations were evident at concentrations below the current EPA standards. Our findings should be viewed as exploratory and require confirmation.
