RRs (95% CIs) were estimated from the conditional Poisson regression models with adjustment for ambient temperature and scaled by 1 MAD of the daily concentration of the air pollutant. Since a 1-day lag produced the strongest association in the single-pollutant models, the six-pollutant model was analyzed with a 1-day lag only.
