Really enjoyed this book. I learned a lot more about a topic I already feel fairly clued up on. This is also going to do nothing to dissuade my partner’s colleagues from referring to me as the “Prince of Particles”

The figure shows that as air quality improves (PM2.5 reduces), mortality reduces. However, if you look closely you will see that the curve is even steeper at lower concentrations of PM2.5: this means that the more air quality improves, the greater its rate of potential benefits are! 🧵 6/6

Pooled Concentration–Response Curves.
Shown are the pooled concentration–response curves for the associations of 2-day moving average concentrations of PM10 (Panel A) and PM2.5 (Panel B) with daily all-cause mortality. The y axis represents the percentage difference from the pooled mean effect (as derived from the entire range of PM concentrations at each location) on mortality. Zero on the y axis represents the pooled mean effect, and the portion of the curve below zero denotes a smaller estimate than the mean effect. The dashed lines represent the air-quality guidelines or standards for 24-hour average concentrations of PM10 or PM2.5 according to the World Health Organization Air Quality Guidelines (WHO AQG), WHO Interim Target 1 (IT-1), WHO Interim Target 2 (IT-2), WHO Interim Target 3 (IT-3), European Union Air Quality Directive (EU AQD), U.S. National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS), and China Air Quality Standard (AQS).
