Percent increase of mortality outcomes of Shanghai residents associated with 10µg/m³ increase in particle concentrations ^*

		%	95% CI
PM₁₀	Total mortality	0.16	0.02 to 0.30
	Cardiovascular mortality	0.31	0.10 to 0.53
	Respiratory mortality	0.33	-0.08 to 0.75

PM_2.5	Total mortality	0.36	0.11 to 0.61
	Cardiovascular mortality	0.41	0.01 to 0.82
	Respiratory mortality	0.95	0.16 to 1.73

PM_10-2.5	Total mortality	0.12	-0.13 to 0.36
	Cardiovascular mortality	0.34	-0.05 to 0.73
	Respiratory mortality	0.40	-0.34 to 1.13

Current day temperature and relative humidity (lag=0), and two-day moving average of air pollutants concentrations (lag=01) were used; 10, 9, and 9 df for time trend (during all our research period) were used for total, cardiovascular and respiratory mortality; 3 df were applied to temperature and relative humidity respectively.
