Figure 6.

Plot marking PMOI, cold effects PD (95 percent confidence intervals), and heat effects PD (95 percent confidence intervals) (y-axis) across the categories, namely, agriculture, construction, electricity supply, extractive industries, waste collection, transport and storage, hotel industry, and manufacturing, for the economic sector, and the categories, namely, superficial injuries, bone fractures and strains, internal injuries, burns and frostbite, choking and asphyxia, extreme temperatures, psychological; damages, multiple injuries, heart attack, and other injuries, for the type of injury (x-axis).

Percent difference (PD) [95% confidence interval (CI)] for the relationship between extreme cold-heat ambient temperatures and occupational injuries in Spain, 1994–2013. Cold effects refer to temperatures in the 1st percentile of maximum temperature versus the percentile of minimum occupational injuries (PMOI). Heat effects refer to temperatures in the 99th percentile versus the PMOI. Confidence intervals ending with an arrow (heat effects) indicate large intervals that are truncated in the figure.
