according to the three-digit International Classification of
Disease (ICD9) system. Table 1 shows the average daily
counts of deaths each year in each of the various categories
selected for consideration in this analysis. For our analysis,
natural mortality is defined as all mortality minus accidents,
homicides, and suicides (causes that are fairly easily
determined and that are unlikely to be related to air pollution
exposure). About 93% of the total mortality in Bangkok
falls into the natural mortality category, which is very similar
to the percentage in the United States.7 The shares of
deaths in the other cause-of-death categories also appear
to be reasonable. In Bangkok, approximately 28% of
nonaccidental mortality was due to cardiovascular causes
versus 46, 52, and 44% in Philadelphia, Cincinnati, and
the United States as a whole, respectively.3,7,8 This suggests
potentially lower rates of cardiovascular disease in Bangkok
than in the United States. Approximately 6% of natural
mortality in Bangkok was due to respiratory causes versus
9% in the United States.7
