Main results A 10 parts per billion by volume (ppb) increase in daily ambient ozone levels in the previous week significantly increased all-cause and cardiovascular and respiratory mortality (all-cause: 0.52%, 95% posterior interval 0.27% to 0.77%; cardiovascular and respiratory: 0.64%, 95% posterior interval 0.31% to 0.98%). The findings were robust after adjustment for particulate matter, weather, seasonality, and long term trends.
