Table 1.
Summary statistics, means and interquartile ranges, for PM2.5 concentrations, mortality rates, and covariates for all counties and by factors related to NAAQS compliance strata. Changes (Δ) for PM2.5, cardiovascular mortality, and COPD mortality were calculated as 2000-2004 period minus 2005-2010 period so positive values represent improvement in air quality or health. Changes (Δ) for covariates were calculated as 2010 minus 2000 so positive values represent increase in value over time.
