Figure 2From: Particulate matter components and subclinical atherosclerosis: common approaches to estimating exposure in a Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis cross-sectional study Annual average PM 2.5 and PM 2.5 component concentrations (mean and standard deviation bar) by metropolitan area and exposure estimation approach. PM2.5, particulate matter less than or equal to 2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter; EC, elemental carbon; OC, organic carbon; IDW = inverse distance weighting.Back to article page
