During the summer of 2003, Europe experienced a heat wave that lasted almost 2 weeks in
which high temperatures were accompanied by exceptionally high ozone levels.
Unfortunately, few studies have examined the effects of temperature and ozone
simultaneously. The authors use constrained distributed lag models to estimate the effects of
daily temperature and peak ozone on mortality in 12 French cities during the heat wave and
to estimate the deaths attributable to each component. Elevated minimum and maximum …
