Table 3. Percent increase of daily mortality associated with an IQR increase of CO, NO2 and PM10 with single model and principal component analysis in Beijing (mean and 95% CI), using 8 df/year.a .
Nonaccidental mortality | Cardiovascular mortality | Respiratory mortality | |
Single model | |||
CO | 2.55 (1.99, 3.11)* | 2.88 (2.10, 3.65)* | 2.39 (0.68, 4.09)* |
NO2 | 2.54 (2.00, 3.08)* | 2.63 (1.87, 3.39)* | 1.79 (0.11, 3.47)* |
PM10 | 1.80 (1.21, 2.40)* | 1.72 (0.88, 2.55)* | 2.07 (0.21, 3.92)* |
After-adjusting collinearity by principal component analysis | |||
CO | 0.97 (0.77, 1.17)* | 1.01 (0.73, 1.29)* | 0.89 (0.27, 1.51)* |
NO2 | 1.04 (0.82, 1.25)* | 1.08 (0.78, 1.38)* | 0.95 (0.29, 1.61)* |
PM10 | 1.07 (0.85, 1.30)* | 1.12 (0.81, 1.43)* | 0.99 (0.30, 1.67)* |
We applied current-day (lag 0 day) temperature and relative humidity and 2-day moving average of air pollutant concentrations (lag01), and applied 8 df per year for time, 3 df to temperature, humidity and barometric pressure.
