  1. Time Lags = Time intervals of exposures studied (Mean 2 days = average of the same day and previous day; Mean 5 days = mean of the same day and the previous four days; Night = average between 23:00- 07:00). N obs = number of observations present for exposure and lung function. N = number of participants. Effect estimates (B) and 95% CI (LCI, UCI). Lung function is presented as FEV1 (amount of air exhaled in 1 s in mL/s and maximum expiratory velocity (PEF in L/min). All associations were corrected for temperature, relative humidity, pollen and duration of study participation
