The % Excess Risk for cardiovascular emergency departments visits, hospital admissions and mortality at single lag-0 to lag-3 (and lag 0–3 from a distributed lag model for PM2.5 mass) per 10 µg/m3 increase in PM2.5 mass, fossil-fuel PM2.5 mass, biomass PM2.5 mass and other-PM2.5 mass during study period, monsoon (June–September) and non-monsoon (October–May), adjusted for long-term trends and seasonality, day-of-week, holidays, Ramadan, blockade days and the temperature and relative humidity. For PM2.5 sources, single-day lag models were applied on 388 days during September 2013 to December 2017, 129 days during monsoon season and 259 days during non-monsoon season. ED, emergency department; PM2.5, fine particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter of ≤2.5 µm.
