Associations of daily community-level exposure (by outdoor urban monitors) with personal daily exposure (by PAM)

Community-Level Exposure n (obs) Difference (95% CI) in Personal Exposure P Value
PM2.5, per 10 μg/m3 2,803 2.0 (0.9–3.2) 0.0004
O3, per 10 ppb 2,789 0.6 (0.5–0.8) <0.0001
NO2, per 10 ppb 2,803 1.0 (0.6–1.3) <0.0001
Temperature, per 10°C 2,803 1.0 (0.9–1.1) <0.0001
Humidity, per 10% 2,803 1.9 (1.7–2.1) <0.0001

Definition of abbreviations: CI = confidence interval; n (obs) = number of observations; NO2 = nitrogen dioxide; O3 = ozone; PAM = personal air quality monitor; PM2.5 = particulate matter ⩽2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter; ppb = parts per billion.

Results are from unadjusted linear mixed effects models of associations between daily averages of community-level exposure to each pollutant, temperature, or humidity with personal exposure to the corresponding pollutant, temperature, or humidity, scaled per 10-unit increase in community-level exposure.
