Comparison of associations between blood markers and PM 10 for all observations (black circle) and observations without smokers (black square) for fibrinogen, E-selectin and prothrombin fragment 1+2 lag 0 to lag 4 and 5-day-mean exposure. 31 male non-smokers and 7 male smokers with chronic pulmonary disease in Erfurt, Germany, between October 2001 and May 2002. IQR, interquartile range; PM10, mass concentration of particles less than 10 μm in diameter; lag 0 (1, 2, 3, 4, 5-day-mean) = average pollutant concentration 0-23 (24-47; 48-71, 72-95, 96-119, 0-119) hours prior to blood withdrawal.
