2 Purpose This appendix gives additional details on the measurement and modeling used to estimate nitrogen dioxide exposures for the epidemiological analyses presented in the main paper. As noted in the main body of the paper, we have already published model specifications for the 02 and 04 land use regressions, and complete details can be found elsewhere (Jerrett et al. 07; Finkelstein and Jerrett 07). This online appendix summarizes both models to assist with interpreting the epidemiologic results in the main paper. Descriptive statistics and box plots for data collected in 02 and 04 are listed in Supplemental Materials Table 1 and Figure 1 below. The data shows that there was a little more than two times difference between the years. Supplemental Material Table 1: Descriptive statistics of all NO 2 measurements in parts per billion (02, 04) NO2 (02) NO2 (04) N Range Minimum Maximum Mean Std. Deviation In Supplemental Material, Figure 1, we see that with 46 co-located measurements there was strong correlation with R = 0.82 even with the large difference in the magnitude of NO 2 measurements. 2
3 N = NO2 (04) 6 4 Rsq = NO2 (02) NO2 (04) NO2 (02) Supplemental Material Figure 1: Boxplot and scatterplot of co-located monitoring values Supplemental Materials Table 2 and Figure 2 below show the model specifications and the observed on predicted value scatterplots for the Fall 02 model. Supplemental Material Table 2: Summary of the regression results for the logarithmic NO 2 Model (02). Number of obs = 94 Source SS df MS F(7,87) = 27.4 Regression Prob > F = 0 Residual R-square = 0.69 Total Adj. R-square = 0.67 Root MSE = Variable* Coefficient Std.

4 Observed values Unstandardized Predicted Value Supplemental Material Figure 2: Logarithmic-observed mean NO 2 (02) on predicted value. We present similar results for the 04 LUR model in Table 3, with the observed on predicted scatterplot shown in Figure 3. Supplemental Material Table 3: Summary of the regression results for NO 2 Model (04). Number of obs = 1 Source SS df MS F(5,96) = 46.1 Regression Prob > F = Residual R-square = Total Adj.

5 30 Observed Values 0 Rsq = Unstandardized Predicted Value Supplemental Material Figure 3: Observed NO 2 (04) on predicted values. Even though the models fit different variables, when comparing 02 to 04 they display similar spatial gradients (see Figure 4). We averaged the two surfaces after assignment to the study subjects in the cohort and used the average estimate for the epidemiological analyses. 5
