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.
