Figure 6

This searchable risk map enables clinicians to estimate PM2.5 exposure and attributable risk of ischemic heart disease mortality based on location in New York City. The risk map combines a frequently cited exposure-response curve11 with annual average PM2.5 concentration estimates based on a land-use regression model.61, 62 These risk estimates apply to populations and may not be predictive of individual risk.
