Associations between weekly PM2.5 levels for the prior 12 weeks and anxiety and depressive symptoms in the preadolescent period (ages 8–11). Results are shown overall (N = 517) and for males (N = 267) and females (N = 250) separately. Solid lines show the difference in anxiety and depressive symptoms per 5-μg/m3 increase in PM2.5. Gray areas indicate 95% confidence intervals. Models are adjusted for child’s age at assessment, child’s sex, maternal age, maternal SES, temperature, and season of study visit.
