Figure 2.

Figure 2 is a set of three box and whiskers graph, plotting particulate matter with a diameter smaller than 2.5 microns (in microgram per cubic meter), ranging from 0 to 80 in increments of 20; volume-normalized oxidative potential measured by the dithiothreitol assay (in nanomole per minute per cubic meter), ranging from 0 to 6 in increments of 2; volume-normalized oxidative potential measured by the ascorbic acid assay (in nanomole per minute per cubic meter), ranging from 0.0 to12.5 in increments of 2.5 (y-axis) across months from January to December (x-axis).

Monthly distribution of personal measurements of PM2.5 (left), OPvDTT (center), and OPvAA (right). See Table S2 for corresponding numeric data. Note: Boxes represent 25th–75th percentiles; the middle horizontal line represents the median; whiskers extend to the most extreme point within 1.5 IQRs of the box and the dots outside boxes indicate outliers. Note: AA, ascorbic acid; DTT, dithiothreitol; IQR, interquartile range; OPvAA, volume-normalized oxidative potential measured by the AA assay (nmol/min/m3); OPvDTT, volume-normalized oxidative potential measured by the DTT assay (nmol/min/m3); PM, particulate matter; PM2.5, PM with an aerodynamic diameter <2.5μm (μg/m3).
