title: [Supplementary comments on the health effects of the 1985 smog period].
abstract: This paper discusses the objections made by Hompesch (1989) in this journal against our analysis of the smog episode 1985. We consider these claims and show that the complete data from the analysis of the smog episode are widely consistent internally and with external findings. Overall as before we conclude that during the smog episode small influences of air pollution on respiratory and cardiovascular diseases and mortality have been shown.
