Fig. 2: The association between particulate matter and its components and cognitive scores under different single-pollutant models.
From: Sustainable development reduces particulate matter emissions and mitigates aging’s cognitive impact
Estimated correlation coefficients between various pollutants and cognitive scores under three single-pollutant models: fully adjusted (blue), fully adjusted with ozone (yellow), and standard adjusted (red). Pollutants include ammonium, black carbon, nitrate, organic matter, PM₁, PM₂.₅, PM₁₀, and sulfate. Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals. Negative coefficients indicate a potential inverse association between pollutant exposure and cognitive scores. The consistency of estimates across models suggests the robustness of the observed associations.
