Variability in ambient ozone and fine particle concentrations and population susceptibility among Canadian health regions.

CONCLUSIONS: A substantial proportion of the Canadian population exhibits at least one risk factor that increases their susceptibility to adverse effects of O3 and PM2.5 exposure. Both risk communication and management interventions need to be increasingly targeted to regions outside large urban centres in the highest quartiles of both susceptibility and exposure.
