Lag periods of up to 1 month were assumed for the effects of black smoke.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Deprivation index significantly modified the effect of black smoke on mortality, with black smoke effects generally increasing as level of deprivation increased. The interaction coefficient from a parametric model assuming a linear interaction between black smoke (\u03bcg\/m<jats:sup>\u22123<\/jats:sup>) and deprivation in their effect on mortality\u2014equivalent to a test of \u2018linear trend\u2019 across Carstairs categories\u2014was significant for all mortality outcomes. In a model where black smoke effects were estimated independently for each deprivation category, the estimated increase in respiratory mortality over the ensuing 1-month period associated with a 10\u2005\u03bcg\/m<jats:sup>3<\/jats:sup>increase in the mean black smoke concentration was 8.0% (95% CI 5.1 to 10.9) for subjects residing in the \u2018most\u2019 deprived category (Carstairs category 7) compared to 3.7% (95% CI \u22120.7 to 8.4) for subjects residing in the \u2018least\u2019 deprived category (Carstairs category 1).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The results suggest a stronger effect of black smoke on mortality among people living in more deprived areas. The effect was greatest for respiratory mortality, although significant trends were also seen for other groups.
