Note: (a): the data from Shanghai, (b): the data from Zhejiang. PM2.5: atmospheric particulate matter (PM) with a diameter of less than 2.5 μm, PM10: PM with a diameter of less than 10 μm, SO2: sulfur dioxide, NO2: nitrogen dioxide, O3: ozone, CO: carbon monoxide. * p-value < 0.05, ** p-value < 0.01, *** p-value < 0.001. PTB: Pulmonary tuberculosis.
