Data

Formula

PM10 and respiratory mortality (all ages): A relative risk of PM10 per 10 microgram/m3 and respiratory mortality of 1.013 (1.005-1.020) was chosen

Ozone (8-hour) and respiratory mortality (all ages): A relative risk of Ozone per 10 microgram/m3 and respiratory mortality of 1.000 (0.996-1.005) was chosen
