Dear Molini,

please find the data for the two pollutant models in the attachment. Mono = monocytes, PLT =

platelets, and seggran means "segmentkernige Granulozyten"  = PMC.

I hope this was what you needed

Best regards,

Irene

Hello Irene,

Thank you so much for sending these results so quickly.  I apologize for my delay in

responding, but I only now had a chance to look at the excel file carefully.  In the last

paragraph of the results section of your paper, you mention results with adjustment for a

second pollutant.  If you examined two‐pollutant models with NO or NO2, we would appreciate

you sharing the quantitative results for NO/NO2 and copollutants from those models.

Thank you again, Molini

Dear Molini,

I hope these are the data (attachment) you were looking for. Please, let me know, if you need

something different.

Best regards,

Dear Irene,

Our office is currently developing the Integrated Science Assessment of Oxides of Nitrogen

and reviewing your 2010 paper in Inhalation Toxicology, "Impact of ambient air pollution on

the differential white blood cell count in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary

disease."

We are interested in the results you report in Figure 2 for associations of gaseous

pollutants and white blood cell counts and hope you would share with us the quantitative

results (effect estimates and 95% CI) for NO2, NO, and CO.  Would you also share with us

quantitative results for copollutants models conducted with NO and NO2?  In the paper, these

results are reported only in text form.

Thank you for your consideration!

Molini
