  1. AD(20): deaths attributable to daily exposure levels above 20 μg/m3, setting the counterfactual exactly to 20 μg/m3.
  2. AD(40): deaths attributable to daily exposure levels above 40 μg/m3, setting the counterfactual exactly to 40 μg/m3.
  3. DAD(40): deaths attributable to daily exposure levels above 40 μg/m3, sampling the counterfactuals from the exposure distribution below 40 μg/m3.
