Notes: 1 After restricting the analyses to Nicosia residents. 2 Only aggregate numbers of all-cause admissions were available, thus it was not possible to restrict numbers to Nicosia residents. 3 Only includes people of adult age (15+) due to the rarity of cardiovascular events in those aged less than 15. 4 Restricted to days with daily average < 150 μg/m3. 5 Only the lag (lag 0 = same day or lag 1, 2 = previous two days) with the strongest positive association is shown. | ||||
