| Constant | 6.19 (3.84 to 8.97) | 4.13 (1.18 to 7.43) |
| Nitrogen dioxide indicator (NO2) | 3.35 (1.89 to 4.99) | 4.30 (1.68 to 7.37) |
| Sulfur dioxide indicator (SO2)) | 7.75 (−3.84 to 17.99) | 11.02 (−1.21 to 22.41) |
| Particulates indicator (Pm) | −12.93 (−20.41 to −6.54) | −14.69 (−23.46 to −6.50) |
| Benzene indicator (Ben) | (31.9:8.36 to 55.85) | 25.98 (−6.62 to 54.22) |
| Over 50 years % | 0.70 (−0.63 to 1.98) | 1.60 (0.47 to 2.92) |
| IMD 2010 score | 0.02 (0.01 to 0.03) | 0.00 (−0.01 to 0.01) |
*Spatially adjusted posterior mean (PM) from Bayesian geoadditive regression models after controlling for fixed effect of all air pollutions indicators: mono-nitrogen oxide (NOx), sulfur dioxide (SO2), particulate matter (Pm), benzene (Ben) and combined index and the county of residence (spatial effects).
IMD, index of multiple deprivation.
