Note: CI, confidence interval; NO2, nitrogen dioxide; PM2.5, particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter 2.5μm; PM10, particulate matter with aerodynamic diameter 10μm; PM102.5, coarse particulate matter; RR, relative risk; SO2, sulfur dioxide. In single-pollutant models, a subset of data without any missing copollutants was used to ensure comparability.

Combined RRs of suicide per interquartile range (IQR) increase in the average 0–1 day concentration across the cities (14.1ppb for NO2, 4.3ppb for SO2, 36.4μg/m3 for PM10, 16.9μg/m3 for PM2.5, and 13.1μg/m3 for PM102.5), after adjusting for potential confounders (i.e., ambient temperature, sunshine duration, day-of-week, public holiday, seasonality, and long-term time trend).
