  2. Notes: Robust standard errors in parenthesis. The variables included in each model depend on the column. Column names indicate the pollutants included as independent variables and in the interactions (Poll. variables, to be replaced by PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NO2, O3 or CO) as well as the dependent being cared for (Dependent variables, to be replaced by elderly or children). PM10 and PM2.5 measured in microgrammes per cubic metre; SO2, O3 and NO2 measured in parts per billion; CO measured in parts per million
