Associations between exposure to air pollution and percentage changes (25 h post-pre) in hs-CRP (all sites).

ameasured in PM2.5.
*p<0.10, ** p<0.05.
“C” denotes the coarse, whereas “F” the fine PM fraction.
Italics indicate Spearman’s R above 0.7. In each row effect estimates (95% confidence intervals) for the indicated pollutant are presented. All models are adjusted for the use of oral contraceptives and the use of oral contraceptives on the sampling day or the day before, temperature, relative humidity, season and adjustment pollutant (indicated in the header of each column). For example, in the single-pollutant model PM10 has the effect estimate of 0.74 (−0.01, 1.50), whereas after adjusting for PNC, the effect estimate is 0.79 (0.03, 1.56). Estimates are percentage increases above population-average baseline expressed per outdoor-sites IQR. N = 170, except all models including OP where N = 153 and all models including EC (C) and OC (C) where N = 166.
