Abstract
This paper systematically reviews epidemiologic studies related to iow-level non-occupational exposures to organophosphorus (OP) insecticides. Many o f the studies evaluate levels o f mater nal OP metabolites and subsequent health outcomes in offspring. The studies focused primarily on birth outcomes (e.g,, infant body weight or head circumference) and neurodevelopmental (e.g., mental and psychomotor) testing results. The evidence from these studies was reviewed under the Bradford Hill guidelines. Most o f the studies assessing exposure based on urinary lev els of OP insecticide metabolites used only one or two measurements during pregnancy. The potential for exposure misclassification with this method is largely due to (1) preformed metabo lites that are ingested with food, (25 the short elimination half-life o f OP insecticides, and (3) lack of specificity to particular OP insecticides for many o f the metabolites. For birth outcomes, the majority of reported results are not statistically significant, and the associations are inconsistent w ithin and across studies.There is more within-study consistency for some o fth e neurodevelop mental testing results, although few associations were examined across several studies. These associations are generally weak, have been replicated only to a limited extent, and require fur ther confirmation before they can be considered established,The OP insecticide levels measured in the epidemiologic studies are too low to cause biologically meaningful acetylcholinesterase Inhibition, the most widely used metric for OP insecticide toxicity. Overall, the available evidence does not establish that low-level exposures to OP insecticides cause adverse birth outcomes or neurodevelopmental problems In humans.

Organophosphorus (OP) insecticides, or their oxon metabo lites, persistently inactivate acetylcholinesterase (AChE), an enzyme involved in neurotransmission in insects as well as humans and other animals. OP insecticides are used widely around the world. Most studies of the adverse human health effects of exposure to OP insecticides have focused on occupa tional or other high-dose exposures, including acute poisoning. Acute clinical effects result from AChE inhibition at synapses in the central nervous system, autonomic nervous system, and neuromuscular junction (Eddleston et al. 2008).

Potential confounding and bias are also evaluated.

Before proceeding to a review of the individual studies, three overarching issues need to be discussed. First, most studies use urinary levels of OP insecticide metabolites to classify expo sures. Therefore, we discuss the validity o f exposure assessment using these urinary biomarkers. Second, the OP insecticide exposure levels of the study subjects are generally lower than those previously identified as harmful. Therefore, we briefly review the extensive animal toxicology and limited human toxicology data to evaluate die plausibility of the associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Third, in any epidemiologic study, confounding and bias should be considered as potential explanations for an observed result (Gordis 2013).
insecticides. The mean concentrations of OP insecticides and DAP residues were 1.2 and 2.0 nmol/g, respectively. On a molar basis, more than 60% of the total residues were DAPs, in addition, 60% of the samples contained higher DAP than OP residues. The mole fraction of DAPs across the samples varied widely, ranging from 0.02 to 0.99. Zhang et al. (2008) found that the mole ratio of DAPs to parent OP insecticides was both produce-specific and chemical-specific, with higher ratios for diazinon, phosmet, chlorpyrifos, azinphos-methyl, and malathion. When measured on strawberries, the ratio of DAPs to parent insecticide (malathion) increased with time since application, indicating continuous transformation.

lites as exposure biomarkers has the potential for exposure misclassification, for the following reasons:
OP metabolites formed directly on or in food are well absorbed orally and cannot be distinguished from those formed following absorption.
Rapid metabolism of OP insecticides and their metabolites results in high intra-individual variation in levels, such that single samples may not reflect past or long-term average exposure.
DAP metabolites are not specific to individual OP insecti cides, and there is a vast range of toxicity across different compounds.
Variability in exposure measurements across studies dimin ishes the comparabili ty of results.
Chen et al. (2012) measured malathion and its transfor mation products, including the DAPs, MDA, and malathion monocarboxylic acid (MMA), in 157 produce samples. The samples had been confirmed previously to contain detectable malathion, but no detectable levels of other OP insecticides. The mean malathion residue was 0.60 nmol/g, and the mean preformed metabolite residue was 3.29 nmol/g. The mole fraction of preformed metabolites (DAP + MMA + MDA) ranged from 0.41 to 1.00. The mole ratio of total metabolites to malathion parent ranged from 0.70 to 333.
In summary, by demonstrating that most of the DAPs, MDA, and TCP are formed on food items, these studies indicate that the metabolite concentration measured in urine may be due to direct exposure to these relatively non-toxic compounds, rather than to the parent OP insecticide. The substantial vari

Rapid metabolism o f OP insecticides
The epidemiologic studies of prenatal OP exposure typi cally include either one or two urinary measurements of OP metabolites that are intended to represent the exposure of the mother during pregnancy. However, many OP insecticides are metabolized relatively rapidly. Most OP insecticides are typically excreted within 24--48 h (World Health Organiza tion [WHO] 1996). Some human exposure data suggest even faster rates of metabolism for particular OP insecticides. For example, Garfitt et al. (2002) reported that a single oral dose of diazinon has a urinary elimination half-life of 2 h. In a similar study, Bouchard et al. (2003) estimated a 4-h half-life for malathion.
Given the rapid elimination of OP insecticides, any spot measurement will reflect only recent exposure. If the relevant exposure period of interest is an average over pregnancy, a single measurement may be inadequate. There is no biological basis to specify a particular exposure period during pregnancy as especially relevant for neonatal or childhood outcomes examined in this review. However, if the exposure period of interest is a short time window during pregnancy, then a spot measurement taken outside that window may not he etiologically relevant.
DAP metabolites are non-specific
variability (Griffith et al. 2011, Sexton and Ryan 2012, Bradman et al. 2013, Attfseld et al. 2014). For example, withinchild variability in one study was 2-11 times greater than that observed across the study population (Attfield et al. 2014). Griffith et al. (2011) found similar results for children living in an agricultural community in central Washington State. Sexton and Ryan (2012) measured the intraclass correlation coefficient for urinary DAP among elementary school children in Minneapolis, and observed "only modest correlations" in siblings from the same household.
Because the associations estimated in the epidemiologic studies are based on one, or at most two, DAP measurements, a higher level of intra- than inter-individual variability can lead to considerable exposure misclassification. Attfield et al. (2014) illustrated this problem by assigning subjects with multiple available OP metabolite measures to four exposure categories based on the mean values of 1-4 randomly selected samples. If the metric under study is reliable, the grand means of the four resulting exposure categories are expected to increase monotonic ally. In this study, however, the resulting grand means w;ere monotonic only 14-15% of the time for MDA and 19-32% for TCPy, when the exposure assessment was based on only one sample per subject. When two samples were used, the resulting grand means for MDA and TCPy were monotonic 31-32% and 34-41% of the time, respectively.
Multiple OP insecticides are metabolized into each of the six DAPs (Duggan et al. 2003, Sudakin and Stone 2011). Some OP insecticides (e.g., malathion and disulfoton) are converted to as many as three different DAPs, whereas others (e.g., dichlorvos and tetrachlorvinphos) metabolize to only a single DAP. Moreover, acephate and methamidophos do not metabolize to DAPs at all (Solecki 2002).
There are substantial differences in toxicity across the OP insecticides. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimated chronic exposure benchmark doses using 10% brain AChE inhibition threshold (BMD,0) for all regis tered OP insecticides. AChE inhibition is the widely recog nized mechanism of action for OP toxicity (Mileson et al. 1998). The BMD,0 values in the EPA assessment, based on rat laboratory studies, ranged from 0.04 milligrams per kilogram body weight per day (mg/kg/day) for dicrotophos to 313.9 mg/kg/day for malathion (IJSEPA 2002), a nearly 8000-fold difference. Even among the most widely used OP insecticides, the toxicity varies over orders of magnitude (see next section). Such large differences in toxicity across OP insecticides, combined wdth the lack of specificity for DAPs, significantly limit the ability of DAP urinary levels to provide an informative measure of toxic exposure.
Intra-individual variability in urinary DAP levels
Potential impact of exposure misclassification
It is important to consider the potential impact of misclassification of OP insecticide exposure on the results of epidemiologic studies, it is often said that if exposure misclassification is non differential (i.e., independent of health status), bias is expected to produce an attenuated measure of association (Cantor et al. 1992). However, it is plausible that short-term variability in dietary patterns and other influences on OP insecticide expo sure differ by health status. For example, diet is associated with birth outcomes and neurodevelopment (Abu-Saad and Fraser 2010, Millichap and Yee 2012, Smithers et al. 2013), and changes in diet are commonly triggered by health status. Consequently, if diseased individuals altered their dietary habits more frequently than non-diseased individuals, then the degree of exposure misclassification would differ by health status, leading to an unknown degree or direction of bias. Even if exposure misclassification is 11011-differential by health out come, it does not necessarily result in a predictable direction of bias. Additional conditions, such as independence of classi fication errors, must be met for non-differential misclassification of a binary exposure to result in bias toward the null, and even then the tendency applies only to the expectation of the estimated association, not to the value of the estimate from any single study (Jurek et al. 2008, Jurek et al. 2005). Moreover, for

Even if statistical models adjust for several behavioral factors, residual confounding may occur due to omission of important variables or imprecise classification of those that are included.

at delivery. Over the study period, average OP insecticide
metabolite concentrations progressively declined. The mean
concentration of chlorpyrifos was 7.1 pg/g in maternal plasma
and 7.6 pg/g in cord plasma in an earlier study (Perera et al.
2003), but fell to 3.9 pg/g (standard deviation [SD] = 4.8) in
maternal plasma and 3.7 pg/g (SD = 5.7) in cord plasma with

OP insecticide levels were also measured in personal ambient

were 14.3 ng/m3 (SD = 30.7) for chlorpyrifos and 99.5 ng/m3

Comments
Results were similar when excluding mothers with abruptio placenta, placenta previa, chorioamnionitis, pre-eclampsia, or pregnancyinduced hypertension, or when excluding mothers with urinary creatinine < 20 mg/dl.
Results were similar or attenuated (beta for DAPs and gestational age = --0.2 [--0.4, 0.01; beta for DAP and birth weight = --0.88 [--213, 371) when restricted to fullterm births
Results did not vary significantly by child sex (P-interaction > 0.3)
Results were "modestly attenuated" when based on non-creatinineadjusted DAPs (beta for gestational age = - 0.3 [- 0.7, 0.01; beta for birth weight ----100 [--232, 32]), and "slightly attenuated" when based on individual urine specimens from 16 or 26 weeks of gestation When stratified by race, effect estimates were also stronger in heterozygous groups

tion) is not clear.
In a convenience sample of 150 New Jersey women with a non-anomalous singleton pregnancy scheduled for an elec tive cesarean birth at > 37 weeks of gestation in 2003-2004, chlorpyrifos and other pesticides were measured in preop erative maternal serum and umbilical cord serum (Table 1) (Barr et al. 2010). The mean chlorpyrifos concentration was 0.09 ng/g (SD = 0.87, range = 0.0007-10.09) in maternal serum and 0.55 ng/g (SD = 0.73, range = 0.0007-1.84) in cord serum. After multivariate adjustment, mean birth weight, head circum ference, abdominal circumference, and birth length did not dif fer significantly between newborns with maternal prenatal or cord serum chlorpyrifos concentrations > 75th versus < 75th percentile (0.0007 ng/g), nor did they differ significantly when the cutoff was set at the 90th percentile (Table 2).
Strengths and limitations of the New Jersey birth cohort
As stated earlier, DAP metabolite levels measured at the time of labor may not reflect earlier exposure levels, which may be more relevant to fetal development. In addition, the limitations of DAP metabolites for OP exposure assessment were discussed previously. The authors noted that DAP metab olite levels observed in this study were substantially higher than those reported among pregnant or postpartum women in the United States (Bradman et al. 2005) and the Netherlands (Ye et al. 2008), yet only one statistically significant associa tion w'as detected. The authors did not hypothesize why levels of DEP, but not other DAP metabolites, might plausibly be related to shorter length of gestation, but not other birth out comes, only among girls. With at least 54 associations tested, chance appears to be a more reasonable explanation for this single statistically significant result.

maternal blood just before cesarean section may not be accu rate indicators of earlier prenatal levels, which are probably more etiologically relevant to fetal growth. Because subjects were recruited by convenience sampling, the participation rate was not stated, and selection bias is a possibility if participa tion was related to factors associated with both chlorpyrifos exposure and birth outcomes (e.g., socioeconomic status, diet, and place of residence). It is unclear whether results for newborns delivered by elective cesarean section would be expected to differ from those for newborns delivered vaginally or by unplanned cesarean section. Finally, the scope of the study with regard to OP insecticides was limited by the mea surement of only chlorpyrifos. As a whole, the results of this study do not demonstrate an association between detectable chlorpyrifos in maternal perinatal serum and birth outcomes.
In the Health Outcomes and Measures of the Environment (HOME) Study, based in Cincinnati, Ohio, 389 healthy preg nant women living in a home built before 1978 were enrolled at < 1 9 weeks of gestation and followed through delivery of a live-born singleton infant in 2003-2006 (Table 1) (Rauch et al. 2012). Six DAP metabolites were measured in mater nal spot urine samples collected from 344 participants at approximately 16 and 26 weeks of gestation (averaged for analysis) and within 24 h of delivery. Median concentrations were 81.3 nmol/L (1QR --41.7-220.0) for DAPs, 56.9 nmol/L (IQR - 26-185) for DMPs, and 17.7 nmol/L (IQR - 8-37) for DEPs. In addition, umbilical cord blood was genotyped for the PON]ig, and PONl'_ m polymorphisms.

Only DAP metabolites, not specific OP insecticides, were measured, and results were reported only for two birth outcomes. Several anomalous results were reported, including the detection of some associations only among white mothers and others only among black moth ers; the detection of significant inverse associations between maternal prenatal urinary DAP and DMP levels and birth weight only in the absence of adjustment for gestational age, but the detection of these associations among black mothers only with adjustment for gestational age; and the stronger observed associations among PONI 192and PONl_m heterozygotes than among low-activity homozygotes. Overall, the results suggest possible inverse associations between maternal prenatal urinary DAP and DMP (but not DEP) concentrations and length of gestational age and birth weight, perhaps restricted to specific racial groups or those with intermediate (but not low or high)

Strength. The strength of observed associations between OP metabolites and birth outcomes cannot be compared easily across studies, given differences in the unit of exposure mea surement, the logarithmic base used for transformation (if any), and the format in which results were presented (e.g., as regres sion betas or adjusted means). The distinction between a weak and a strong association, especially with a continuous outcome such as birth weight or length of gestation, is also subjective and hard to define. Nevertheless, most reported associations involved birth weight differences of < 100 g, birth length and head circumference differences of < 0 .5 cm, and gestational length differences of < 5 days (< 0.7 weeks), in association with exposures classified on various scales (e.g., detectable, natural log, or log,0). In general, weak associations are more likely than strong associations to be explained by confounding, bias, or chance.

et al. 2007) (Wickerham et al, 2012), Associations with birth length were also heterogeneous, including inverse (Perera et al. 2003, Whyatt et al. 2005, Whyatt et al. 2004), positive (Eskenazi et al, 2004), and mostly null findings (Barr et al. 2010, Rerkowitz et al. 2004, Eskenazi et al. 2004, Perera et al. 2003, Wang et al. 2012, Whyatt et al. 2005, Whyatt et al. 2004, Wolff et al. 2007), Likewise, head circumference was variously inversely associated (Berkowitz et al. 2004, Wolff et al. 2007), positively associated (Eskenazi et al. 2004, Harley et al. 2011), and most often not significantly associated (Barr et al. 2010, Berkowitz et al. 2004, Eskenazi et al. 2004, Harley et al. 2011, Perera et al. 2003, Whyatt et al. 2005, Whyatt et al. 2004, Wolff et al. 2007) with OP metabolite levels. The reported associa tions of individual OP metabolites with ponderal index were statistically null in both studies of this outcome (Eskenazi et al. 2004, Wolff et al. 2007).
Although inverse associations between a few selected OP metabolites and length of gestation were reported in multiple studies (Eskenazi et al, 2004, Harley et al. 2011, Rauch et al. 2012, Wang et al. 2012), these associations were inconsistent across participant subgroups by race, sex, and genotype, with no cogent biological explanation for the observed heterogene ity. For example, a signi ficant inverse association with maternal prenatal urinary DAPs was detected among white mothers but not black mothers in the HOME .Study (Rauch et al. 2012), and an inverse association with maternal prenatal urinary DEPs was detected among infant girls but not boys in the Shanghai birth cohort study (Wang et al. 2012). Moreover, most OP metabolites measured in these and other studies (Berkowitz et al. 2004, Wolff et al. 2007) were not significantly associated with length of gestation. Thus, the most consistent findings were statistically null, and the lack of consistency of signifi cant associations between OP metabolites and specific birth outcomes does not support a causal interpretation of the few' statistically significant associations observed.
Crit Rev Toxicol. 2015; 45(7): 531-641
tionship, without testing the appropriateness of this model. Only two studies examined exposure-response gradients by categorizing exposures into at least three ordinal groups (Eskenazi et al. 2004, Whyatt et al. 2004), (This observa tion also highlights the problem of inconsistency of analytic approaches among studies.) In the CCCEH study, w'here cord plasma concentrations of chlorpyrifos (and chlorpyrifos plus diazinon, but not diazinon alone) were inversely associated with birth weight and birth length, the strength of the inverse associations increased across tertiles of detectable levels com pared with non-detectable levels, a pattern consistent with a monotonie exposure-response gradient (Whyatt et al. 2004). In the CHAMACOS study, maternal prenatal urinary levels of MDA, TCPy, and PNP, which were categorized as undetect able, detectable below the median, or detectable at or above the median, did not show evidence of a monotonie association with length of gestation, birth weight, birth length, or pon deral index (Eskenazi et al. 2004). The middle category of PNP appeared to be inversely associated with length of gesta tion and ponderal index and positively associated with body length; however, the results for the highest category were not significantly different from the null value. Some evidence of a positive exposure-response trend was observed between PNP and head circumference. Although significant linear regression coefficients may be consistent with a monotonie biological gradient, the dearth of information on the shape of exposureresponse relationships between OP metabolites and birth out comes preven ts a thorough evaluation of such gradients.
The commonly applied mechanism for OP toxicity is AChE inhibition. As discussed earlier, the levels in the epidemiologic studies are orders of magnitude below what would result in clinically meaningful AChE inhibition. There are a few other postulated mechanisms for non-cholinergic OP toxicity, but effects at the levels observed in the epidemiologic studies have not been established for these mechanisms either.

Twenty studies in ten study populations have examined associ ations between OP or OP metabolites and neurodevelopmental outcomes (Bouchard ei al. 2010, Bouchard et ai. 2 0 1 1, Engel et al. 2007, Engel et al. 2011, Eskenazi et al. 2010, Eskenazi et al. 2007, Fortenberry et al. 2014, Guodong et al, 2012, Horton et al. 2012, Lizardi et ai, 2008, Lovasi et al. 2011, Marks et al. 2010, Oulhote and Bouchard 2013, Quiros-Alcala et al. 2011, Rauh et al. 2011, Rauh et al. 2006, Rauh et al. 2012, Yolton et al. 2013, Young et al. 2005, Zhang et al. 2014). Most studies were conducted in birth cohorts enrolled prior to delivery-- including four cohorts described earlier in the section on birth outcomes---whereas other studies were crosssectional in design. Measures of neurodevelopment varied among studies, with several using standard clinical scales or questionnaires, and others using measurement tools that were not used by any other studies reviewed, although all studies reported some degree of validation of the assessment tools used. Table 3 summarizes the analyses in tire studies evaluat ing neurodevelopmental outcomes.
with a significantly increased odds of mental delay (odds ratio [OR] = 2.37, 95% C l -1 .0 8 , 5.19) and psychomotor delay (OR - 4.52, 95% Cl = 1.61, 12.70) at 36 months. However, cord plasma chlorpyrifos was not significantly associated with the Mental Development Index at 12 or 24 months (beta at 12 months ----0.344, SE --1.66; beta at24 months ----1.480, SE --2.03) or with the Psychomotor Development Index at either time point (beta at 12 months ----3.30, SE --2.11; beta at 24 months = 1.17, SE --1.98), nor were significant associa tions detected with mental or psychomotor delay at those ages. At 36 months, significant associations were detected between elevated chlorpyrifos levels and Child Behavior Checklist measures of attention problems (OR --11.26, 95% Cl --1.79, 70.99), attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD; OR --6.50, 95% C l --1.09, 38.69), and pervasive devel opmental disorder (O R -5 .3 9 , 95% C l - 1.21, 24.11), but not externalizing behavior problems (unadjusted P --0.426) or internalizing behavior problems (unadjusted P --0.444).

Gender, age, race/ethnicity, ratio of family income to poverty level, and fasting duration
Diagnosis of ADHD is based on the presence during previous 12 months of symptoms related to inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, with significant impairment in a settings (e.g., at school and at home); no requirement that symptoms occur without another neuropsychiatrie disorder or that symptoms were present before 7 years of age
Results were similar when using creatinine-adjusted DAP, DMP, and DEP concentrations (results NR)

The basic methods of the CHAMACOS birth cohort study were described earlier, follow-up for neurodevelopmental outcomes continued through age 7 years (Table 1) (Bouchard et al. 2011, Eskenazi et al. 2010, Eskenazi et al. 2007, Marks et al. 2010, Quiros-Alcala et al. 2011, Young et al. 2005). Geometric mean urinary DAP metabolite levels measured in children increased with age: 45.5 nmol/L (95% 1 = 39.6, 52.3) at 6 months, 59.5 = nmol/L (51.7, 68.5) at 12 months, 70.9 nmol/L (61.4, 81.9) at 24 months, 77.5 nmol/L (65.4, 91.9) at 3.5 years, and 92.6 nmol/L (78.6, 109.0) at 5 years (Eskenazi et al. 2007, Marks et al. 2010). Neurodevelop mental outcomes were measured using the Brazelton Neo natal Behavioral Assessment Scale administered by 62 days (2 months); the Bayley Scales of Infant Development, 2nd Edition, administered at 6, 12, and 24 months; an autonomic nervous system reactivity protocol that measured heart rate, respiratory sinus arrhythmia, and pre-ejection period follow ing social, physical, and emotional challenges (and cognitive challenges for older children) administered at 6 months and 1, 3.5, and 5 years; the mother-completed Child BehaviorChecklist for ages 1.5-5 years administered at 2, 3.5, and 5 years; the NEPSY visual attention subtest, 2nd Edition, administered at 3.5 years; the Conners' Kiddie Continuous Performance Test, which assesses reaction time, accuracy, and impulse control for ADHD screening using an interactive computer program; the Hillside Behavior Rating Scale, which assesses motor activity and distractibility for ADHD screen ing, administered at 5 years; and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, 4th Edition, administered at 7 years.
Among infants assessed at or before age 2 months, no significant association was observed between maternal pre natal average urinary levels of DAPs, DMPs, or DEPs and the Brazelton habituation, orientation, motor performance, range of state, or regulation of state cluster, either overall or among neonates assessed at age < 3 days or > 3 days (Table 2) (Young et al. 2005). Maternal prenatal urinary DEP metabolite levels, but not DAPs or DMPs, were significantly associated with a higher score on the autonomic stability cluster, which includes tremors, startles, and skin color, at age < 3 days (beta per log10-unit increase = 0.31, 95% Cl = 0.01,0.61), but not at age > 3 days (beta = --0.16,95% Cl = --0.47,0.14) or overall. By contrast, maternal prenatal urinary DAP, DMP, and DEP metabolite level s were all significantly associ ated wi th a higher number of abnormal reflexes, especially at age > 3 days (beta for DAPs = 0.53, 95% Cl = 0.23, 0.82; beta for DMPs = 0,41, 95% Cl = 0.12, 0.69; beta for DEPs = 0.37, 95% Cl = 0.09, 0.64), but not at age < 3 days (beta for DAPs = - 0.01, 95% Cl = - 0.24, 0.22; beta for DMPs = - 0.00, 95% Cl = - 0,21, 0.20; beta for DEPs = 0.08, 95% Cl = - 0 .16, 0.32). When the number of abnormal reflexes w;as dichotomized at > 3 versus < 3, maternal prenatal urinary DAP, DMP, and DEP levels were categorized into quintiles, and the analysis was restricted to neonates aged > 3 days at assessment, statistically significant positive exposure-response trends were observed for each metabolite type. The OR for > 3 abnormal reflexes per log10-unit increase in metabolite concentration was 4.9 (95% C I= 1.5, 16.1) for DAPs, 3.2 (95% C I= 1.1, 9.8) for
DMPs, and 3.4 (95% Cl = 1.2, 9.9) for DEPs. No associations with any neonatal neurodevelopmental outcome were detected with maternal post-delivery urinary metabolite levels.
A significant inverse association was detected between maternal prenatal urinary DAP and DMP levels and the Bayley Mental Development Index at 24 months (beta per log10unit increase in DAPs = --3.54, 95% Cl = --6.59, --0.49; beta for DMPs = - 3.64, 95% Cl = - 6.36, - 0.91) (Table 2) (Eskenazi et al. 2007), By contrast, child urinary DAP and DMP levels at 24 months were positively associated with the Mental Development Index (beta for DAPs = 2.37, 95% Cl = 0.50, 4.24; beta for DMPs = 2.01, 95% Cl = 0.24, 3.78). Child urinary DEP levels at 12 months were also positively associated with the Mental Development Index at that age (beta = 1.89, 95% 1 = 0.21, 3.58). Otherwise, associations of maternal prenatal and child urinary DAP, DMP, and DEP metabolites, as well as maternal prenatal MDA and TCPy levels, with the Mental Development Index at 6, 12, and 24 months were statistically non-significant, and all associa tions w'ith the Psychomotor Development Index at those ages were non-significant. Maternal prenatal and 24-month child urinary levels of DAPs, DMPs, DEPs, MDA, and TCPy were not significantly associated with a clinically borderline score ( > 93rd percentile) for attention problems or ADHD as assessed by the Child Behavior Checklist at 24 months. However, maternal prenatal urinary levels of DAPs and DMPs were at least marginally significantly associated with a higher odds of clinical pervasive developmental disorder (> 97th percentile) as assessed by the Child Behavior Checklist at 24 months (OR for DAPs = 2.25, 95% Cl = 0.99, 5.16; OR for DMPs = 2.19, 95% Cl = 1.05,4.58; OR for DEPs = 0.88,0.37,2.07), as were all three types of metabolites in children (OR for DAPs = 1.71, 95% Cl = 1.02, 2.87; OR for DMPs = 1.52, 95% Cl = 0.94, 2.45; OR for DEPs = 1.72, 1.12, 2.64). Maternal prenatal uri nary MDA and TCPy levels were not significantly associated with pervasive developmental disorder at 24 months.
When associations between maternal prenatal urinary DAP, DMP, and DEP levels and the Bayley Mental and Psychomo tor Development indices and Child Behavior Checklist perva sive developmental disorder score were stratified by child or maternal PON1 genotype, or by umbilical cord or maternal blood PON l activity or quantity, no statistically significant interactions were detected, and stronger associations were not consistently detected among those with lower-activity geno types (i.e., PON1 !92 RR and PON1 ,Q8 TT) or lower enzyme levels (Table 2) (Eskenazi et al. 2010).
At age 3.5 years, maternal prenatal urinary DAP, DMP, and DEP levels were not significantly associated with attention problems or ADHD as assessed by the Child Behavior Check list, whether the outcomes were analyzed as continuous or cat egorical variables dichotomized at clinically borderline scores (> 93rd percentile) (Table 2) (Marks et al. 2010). However, several OR point estimates were around 3.0, with wide 95% CIs due to the small number of borderline scores at that age. Prenatal urinary DAP, DMP, and DEP metabolite levels were also unassociated with the NEPSY-II visual attention score at age 3.5 years. Associations with Child Behavior Checklist measures of attention problems and ADHD at age 5 years were attenuated and statistically non-significant in analyses

Canadian health m easures survey
In the first cycle (2007-2009) of the cross-sectional Cana dian Health Measures Survey, the Canadian counterpart to NHANES, 1081 children aged 6 - 1 1 years were enrolled, including 1030 (95%) with spot urine measurements of six DAP metabolites measured within two weeks of parental completion of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire to assess mental and behavioral outcomes (Table 1) (Oulhote and Bouchard 2013). The five-dimension scales of this question naire evaluate emotional symptoms, conduct problems, hyperactivity/inattention, peer problems, and prosocial behavior (not analyzed due to insufficient variability), each scored on a 10-point scale; a global total difficulties scale is computed based on the sum of all scales except prosocial behavior. .Scores were dichotomized between high and low/borderline using cutoffs recommended by the author of the instrument. Of the eligible children, 779 (72%) had complete covariate data and were included in the analysis. The median urinary level of DAPs was 99.2 nmol/L (l'QR = 34.3-273.3), that of DMPs was 62.0 (IQR --18.7-192.8), and that of DEPs w'as 25.0 (IQR = 10.5-51.3).
When analyzed on the lo g U) scale and adjusted for multiple covariates, with or without creatinine standardization, urinary DAPs, DMPs, and DEPs were all statistically unassociated with elevated scores for total difficulties (OR for DAPs = 0.6, 95% C l - 0 .3 , 1.3; OR for D M Ps- 0 .8 , 95% C l - 0 .4 , 1.6; OR for DEPs --0.3, 95% Cl = 0.1, 1.8), conduct problems, emotional symptoms, hyperaetivity/inattention, and peer problems (Table 2). No significant heterogeneity was observed by child sex.
The methodological strengths and limitations of this studyare essentially the same as those of the NHANES studydescribed above (Bouchard et al. 2010). Advantages include the population-based setting and extensive information on potential confounders (but not diet), w'hereas major drawbacks include the cross-sectional design and the one-time spot urine measurement of DAP metabolites. Parent-reported outcome measures were subject to misclassification that might have been differential. Selection bias could have influenced the results in unpredictable ways if participation in the Canadian Health Measures Survey or provision o f complete covariate data were related to both the exposure and the outcome. In light of these limitations and the statistically null findings, this study offers no evidence to support a causal effect of OP insecticide exposure on behavioral problems in children.
E arly life E xposed in M exico to E nvironm ental Toxicants Study
The Early Life Exposed in Mexico to Environmental Toxi cants (ELEMENT) study sequentially enrolled 827 healthy pregnant women from a general hospital and affiliated clinics in Mexico City (Table 1) (Fortenberry et al. 2014). Of the original cohort participants, 187 (23%) mother-child pairs had third-trimester urine specimens and completed child psy chometric assessments to screen for ADHD-related symptoms
at ages 6-11 years in 2007-2011; these assessments included the Conners' Parental Rating Scales-Revised, the Behavior Assessment System for Children-Parental Rating Scales, and Conners' Continuous Performance Test. The Conners' Paren tal Rating Scales-Revised, a parent-completed assessment tool for children and adolescents aged 3-17 years, included scales for an ADHD index, global restlessness/impulsivity, hyperactivity/impulsivity ADHD, inattention ADHD, and combined-type ADHD, mostly based on guidelines from the DSM-IV. The Behavioral Assessment System for ChildrenParental Rating Scales, a parent-completed assessment tool for children aged 6-11 years, were used to assess attention problems and hyperactivity. The geometric mean concen tration of TCPy in maternal prenatal urine was 1.76 ng/mL (IQR --0.91-3.57). In a subset of 21 subjects who provided prenatal urine specimens in all three trimesters, the geometric mean concentration did not vary significantly across trimes ters, but significant within-subject variability w7as detected (intraclass correlation --0.41 without correction for specific gravity and 0.29 with correction).
No significant association, including after stratification by sex, was found between maternal prenatal urinary TCPy level and any of the outcome measures studied, including all ADHD and restlessness/impulsivity scales based on the Conners' Parental Rating Scales-Revised; the two scales for attention problems and hyperactivity based on the Behavior Assessment System for Children-Parental Rating Scales; and the clinical index for ADHD and the hit reaction time block change measure (used to assess vigilance or sustained atten tion) based on the Conners' Continuous Performance Test (Table 2). The authors highlighted "suggestive trends'' (with P values >0.05 but < 0 .1 0 ) between maternal prenatal urinary TCPy and increasing hit reaction time block change and the Conners' Parental ADHD index among boys, but no appar ent trends were detected (P --0.18-0.99) for any other ADHD screening measures.
The ELEMENT study benefits from prospective collection of prenatal urine specimens, its measurement of a specificmetabolite of chlorpyrifos, and its adjustment for numerous potential confounders (excluding diet). The scope of the study is confined by the measurement of only one OP insecticide metabolite. Other limitations, which are shared by other studies discussed in this review, include the lack of serial biomonitoring, potential selection bias, possible outcome mis classification due to the use of parent-reported data, a modest number of subjects, and multiple comparisons, with no a p r i o r i hypothesis regarding why TCPy should be associated with some measures of ADHD-related symptoms but not others. Thus, chance must he considered as a reasonable explanation for the two marginally significant trends detected among at least 27 tested. In general, the results of this study suggest no consistent or convincing associations between prenatal TCPy levels and ADHD-related symptoms.
Shenyang birth cohort
In another prospective birth cohort study, 249 healthy pregnant women were enrolled from a hospital in Shenyang, China, between 2011 and 2012 and followed through delivery of a healthy neonate (Table 1) (Zhang et al. 2014). The Neonatal

berry et al, 2014). Thus, using our a.priori requirement of three independent studies to evaluate the weight of epidemiologic evidence (stated in the "Scope of review" section), the avail able data are insufficient to establish consistent associations between specific OP metabolites and specific neurodevelopmental outcomes.
Temporality, issues related to the temporality of measured OP metabolites and neurodevelopmental outcomes are simi lar to those discussed above in the evaluation of associations with birth outcomes, except that perinatal or early childhood exposures could plausibly be related to subsequent neurode velopment. However, because little is known about the tim ing of various neurodevelopmental impairments, it is unclear whether environmental exposures in early gestation, late gestation, infancy, early childhood, or later childhood--or perhaps a combination of these---are most etiologically rel evant. The paucity of knowledge about possible biological mechanisms and latency periods in neurodevelopment may justify the practice of multiple comparisons, with exposures and outcomes measured at multiple time periods being tested for associations. However, the pitfalls of this approach should be acknowledged; it is scientifically invalid to test numerous associations and choose the statistically significant ones as being the etiologically correct ones while dismissing the sta tistically non-significant associations.
Crit Rev Toxicol. 2015; 45(7): 531-641
In NHANES data, ordinally increasing categories--unde tectable, below median, or above median--o f urinary DMTP (the only metabolite evaluated as a categorical variable) were associated with progressively higher ORs for parent-reported prevalent ADHD, suggesting a monotonic gradient (Bouchard et al. 2010). In school-aged Mexican children, no statistically significant monotonic trends were detected across increasing tertiles of maternal prenatal urinary TCPy levels and vari ous screening measures of ADHD (Fortenberry et al. 2014). Borderline significant trends were detected with increasing scores on the Conners' Parental ADHD index among boys (Pjrerd = 0.06) and increasing hit reaction time block change on the Conners' Continuous Performance Test among boys and girls combined, but evidence of non-monotonicity was detected for both outcomes among girls. Finally, analyses based on maternal prenatal urinary DAP levels categorized into quintiles clearly illustrated monotonic inverse associations with the behavior, passive tone, active tone, primary reflexes, and summary scores on the Neonatal Behavioral Neurological Assessment among Chinese neonates, supporting the results of linear regression models (Zhang et al. 2014). Overall, then, most of this subset of studies detected biological gradients that strengthen the evidence in support of exposure -response relationships between OP insecticide exposure and adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes, although some results were not consistent with monotonic trends.

No apparent interactions or patterns suggest ing higher susceptibility with lower PON1 activity were detected. Altogether, these limited findings do not provide consistent, coherent evidence to support the hypothesis that low PON1 activity levels augment individual susceptibility to impaired neurodevelopment from OP insecticide expo sure. One possible reason for the lack o f consistent evidence for higher susceptibility wi th lower PON 1 activi ty is that not all OP insecticides are detoxified by PON 1 (Coombes et al. 2014). Additionally, Coombes et al. (2014) found that PON1 may not affect metabolism of chlorpyrifos at environmen tally relevant exposures.
This paper reviews a large body of epidemiologic literature and weighs the overall evidence using the framework of the Bradford Hill guidelines. In this section, we focus on three prospective cohort studies (CECS, CHAMACOS, and HOME) that we judged to have the most informative design, and that measured maternal prenatal urinary DAP levels prior to birth or neurodevelopmental outcomes. In addition, we focused on associations with total urinary DAPs in all study subjects combined, to facilitate comparisons across studies, because DAPs were the common exposure metric. Where available, we used associations with creatinine-standardized urinary DAP levels and those that were fully adjusted for potential confounders.

in summary, associations observed between OP metabolites and birth outcomes in epidemiologic studies have been mostly weak or imprecise, inconsistent, temporally ambiguous, not clearly monotonic, not biologically plausible or coherent with toxicological evidence given the estimated degree of AChE inhibition at observed DAP concentrations, and not specific to any OP insecticide or health outcome. Associations between OP metabolites and neurodevelopmental outcomes in observed in these epidemiologic studies likewise do not unequivocally meet any of the Bradford Hill guidelines. Sir Austin Bradford Hill stated that none of these guidelines must necessarily be met to establish a causal relationship: "None of my nine viewpoints can bring indisputable evidence for or against the cause-and-effect hypothesis and none can be required as a sine qua non" (Hill 1965). Some might consider the standards for causality used in this analysis as restrictive (e.g., use of Bradford Hill, criteria for agreement across three independent studies). It is possible that the use of other standards could yield different conclusions.
The inconsistencies across the studies also have to be con sidered in light of the lack of a biologically plausible mecha nism for the adverse birth outcomes or neurodevelopmental effects evaluated in the studies. Even far less severe effects, such as mild AChE inhibition, occur at dosages that are sub
Recent epidemiologic studies on balance have found weak and inconsistent associations of maternal exposures to OP insec ticides with birth outcome and neurodevelopmental testing results in the offspring. Perhaps the most important limitation o f the extant literature is the exposure classification, which is subject to significant uncertainties due to limited sampling during pregnancy, despite the high temporal variability in exposure. In addition, the available studies cannot differentiate metabolites that form directly on and in food items and are not the result of OP insecticide exposure. Given the heterogeneity across studies in terms of overall design, types of exposure biomarkers assessed, timing of exposure measurement, birth outcomes, neurodevelopmental tests, statistical modeling approaches, and reporting of results, inter-study comparisons are challenging, and consistency of findings has not been established.
The available toxicology data show that the dosages required to cause AChE inhibition are far higher than the levels observed in the epidemiologic studies, a finding that raises further uncertainties about the biological plausibility of the epidemiologic findings. Nonetheless, the studies evalu ate potential effects of major public health importance, and some of the findings, particularly poorer reflexes in neonates, ADHD/attention problems, lower cogni Live scores in preschool or school-aged children, and changes in brain morphology, warrant additional study.
stantially higher than the OP insecticide levels measured in the epidemiologic studies.
A common limitation of existing studies is their reliance on non-specific DAP metabolites measured in one or two urine specimens. Given the high variability of DAP metabolite lev els in time-series analysis, more frequent sampling is needed to more accurately estimate exposure during pregnancy. In addition, studies with repeated serum or plasma measure
