Figure S2. Scatter plots of the crude linear regression analysis; Associations between PM10, NDVI, and NO2 and different cancer types. For each diagram, coefficients of determination (R2) are given. We see positive but weak associations between NO2 and mouth and throat cancer, prostate cancer and breast cancer, but an elevated positive association with NMSC exists (R2 = 0.164). With increasing vegetation level (NDVI) of the neighborhood, cancer incidence rates decrease for breast cancer, prostate cancer, mouth and throat cancer, and NMSC (in increasing order).
