  • Data are presented are parameter estimate±se. Each model includes height (or height2), weight and lifetime total exposure to NO2- and particles with a 50% cut-off aerodynamic diameter of 10 μm, as determined previously 11, and race/ethnicity. Only O3-specific and genotype parameter estimates are shown; the full model can be found in the online supplement. FEF25–75%: mean forced expiratory flow between 25–75% of FVC; FVC: forced vital capacity; FEF75%: mean forced expiratory flow at 75% of FVC. #: unit of measurement is change in lung function measure for subjects carrying variant allele of each polymorphism. *: p<0.05. : p<0.15.
