  1. The data are shown as the median followed by the 25-75 quartile interval in parentheses.
  2. *Indicates statistically significant differences between the PM2.5 and the FA groups for each week (Wk) (p<0.05).
  3. aIndicates a statistically significant difference from the basal measurement (FA vs FA, and PM2.5 vs PM2.5).
