Independent and interactive effects of wet bulb globe temperature and air pollution exposures on suicide mortality

Environment International
Individual components of the ambient environment, such as temperature and air pollution, exist as part of a complex mixture and have been associated with suicide; however, their interactive effects remain poorly understood. This study examined the independent and interactive effects of wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and fine
