Note. BaP = Benzo alpha pyrene, PM2.5 = Particulate matter pollutants of ≤2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter, Lden = Day-evening-night equivalent sound level Model is based on the original dataset prior to replacement of missing values and dichotomizing variables. Spearman’s correlation coefficients are reported Correlation is *Significant at P < 0.05, **Significant at P < 0.01
