Dear Tom, 

Please find the attached. Three files are attached. 

(1) Figure 4 AB for complete case data (as an excel file) 

(2) Figure 4 AB for all sites data (as an excel file) 

(3) Fiigure 5 AB, Figure S3 and Figure S4 (as a word file) 

If you have further question, please let me know. 

Thanks,

Hi Dr. Chung,

Thank you for your prompt reply.  A table with the estimates for those figures would be most helpful!  Please send

them to me via email.

Thanks again,

Tom

Dear Dr. Luben, 

Thank you very much for your interest in my research. I would be happy to share our results for your ISA 

report. May I send you a table that includes the estimates (posterior means/intervals) for figures 4a, 4b, 5a, 5b, 

S3 and S4 via email? 

Thanks,

Dear Dr. Chung, 

It was with great interest that I recently read your study “Associations between Long-Term Exposure to 

Chemical Constituents of Fine Particulate Matter (PM2.5) and Mortality in the Medicare Enrolless in the 

Eastern United States” published in EHP earlier this year. I am beginning to draft initial sections for the next 

PM Integrated Science Assessment (ISA) and your work will be very informative to the assessment. I would 

like to include your results in summary tables and figures that I am preparing for the ISA. In order to do that, 

I was hoping that you would be willing to share the quantitative results from the figures in your manuscript 

(including Figures S3 and S4 in the supplemental material). If you have a table that includes the estimates 

(posterior means/intervals) for figures 4a, 4b, 5a, 5b, S3 and S4, we would like to include these quantitative 

results in the PM ISA in order to facilitate comparison with the results of other studies of long-term exposure 

to PM (and PM constituents) and mortality. 

Thank you very much for your consideration. Please let me know if you have any questions or would like to 

discuss this request. 

Best regards, 

Tom
