Table 3.

Median (95% interval) for the relative risks of non-accidental mortality for the pollution covariates for models using the ambient levels of PM₁₀ and carbon monoxide along with covariates for the fine PM diameters. The first model uses ambient concentration of the fine PM diameters, the second model uses the exposure distribution. The relative risks are the relative risk due to a one standard deviation increase in ambient concentration.
