Figure 2. Incidence rate ratios and 95% confidence intervals for the association between an interquartile range increase in particle constituents and ischemic stroke onset in the following 24 hr among 1060 patients hospitalized for acute ischemic stroke who resided in the Boston, MA, metropolitan area, 2003–2008. The results are presented for models with parameters for constituent concentration (a), constituent concentration adjusted for total particulate matter (b), and constituent residuals (c). © Oxford University Press.

Figure 3. Smoothed plot of the percentage deviation from predicted SDNN (based on the model with all other covariates) versus PM2.5 concentrations in Boston. The association flattens out at high concentrations where the correlation between PM2.5 and black carbon disappears. From Schwartz et al. (2005). © BMJ Publishing Group Ltd.
