For a complete table, see Supplemental Material, Table 3 (doi:10.1289/ehp.1002203). Estimates were calculated using cumulative effects models representing time-delayed effects with moving averages up to 6 days (mean of the same day and 5 previous days) and including both pollutants with the same lag, for example, same-day total particle number concentration and same-day NO2 concentration.

b

Units for IQR: NO2 (μg/m3); PNCx (1/cm3); PSCx (μm2/cm3).

p < 0.05 (p-values for the null hypothesis that the corresponding parameter is zero).
