  1. HA hospital admission, ppb parts per billion, RR relative risk, O 3 ozone, CI confidence interval
  2. aRRs were estimated from Poisson generalized additive models and adjusted for cubic splines of calendar time (8 d.f. per year), cubic splines of same-day temperature (3 d.f.), cubic splines of the average of lag 1 through 3 day temperature (3 d.f.), cubic splines of same-day dew point (3 d.f.), cubic splines of the average of lag 1 through 3 day dew point (3 d.f.), day of the week, and public holidays
