| median (IQR) | 0.10 (0.21) | 0.04 (0.15) | 0.05 (0.16) | 0.05 (0.16) | |
| no. of wildfire smoke days | mean (SD) | 9.55 (6.89) | 3.14 (4.16) | 3.42 (4.35) | 2.99 (3.98) |
| median (IQR) | 8 (13) | 1 (4) | 2 (4) | 1 (4) | |
| no. of wildfire smoke days > 3 μg/m3 | mean (SD) | 4.83 (4.65) | 1.60 (2.82) | 1.71 (2.92) | 1.52 (2.71) |
| median (IQR) | 3 (7) | 0 (2) | 0 (2) | 0 (2) | |
| no. of wildfire smoke days > 5 μg/m3 | mean (SD) | 2.78 (3.50) | 0.93 (2.09) | 0.99 (2.15) | 0.87 (2.00) |
| median (IQR) | 1 (4) | 0 (1) | 0 (1) | 0 (1) |
Wildfire PM2.5 concentrations are averaged per individual across each period including non-wildfire days (where concentrations are 0 μg/m3).
Note that the number of smoke days is inclusive of the number of smoke days > 3 μg/m3 and > 5 μg/m3, as number of smoke days >3 μg/m3 are inclusive of number of smoke days >5 μg/m3.
SD, standard deviation.
IQR, interquartile range.
