Influences on excess mortality based on the best spatial regression models

Variables	Spatial error (lag 1): predicted total mortality on dusty day (95% confidence intervals)	Spatial error (lag 1): predicted total mortality on non-dusty day (95% confidence intervals)	Excess mortality (%)
SVF (in 10%)	−2.0 [−2.5, −1.5]*	−1.9 [−2.3, −1.5]*	−5.3
% low education (in 10%)	1.6 [0.7, 2.5]*	1.5 [0.7, 2.2]*	6.7
% low income (in 10%)	0.7 [0.0, 1.4]	0.6 [0.0, 1.2]	16.7
% elderly (in 10%)	−2.1 [−3.4, −0.8]*	−1.8 [−2.9, −0.7]*	−16.7
