a

Model 1 includes individual exposure and response variables.

b

Model 2 includes the individual exposures and response and demographic covariates (age, sex, asthma diagnosis, current employment in agriculture, lives with someone currently employed in agriculture).

c

Model 3 is exposure and response plus demographic covariates, and meteorological covariates (temperature and relative humidity).

d

All model estimates are scaled by the IQR of the relevant exposure, with the exception of total DE, which had an IQR of 0.

e

January n = 74.

f

June n = 75.
