Yeah often. But here you would get mean and std dev for normal levels of pollution and have a good idea of how many extra cases are due to the rise in pollution. You can't say which specific cases but from a public health and policy perspective that's not important.

Nah, you'd use an age-adjusted regression model, with some correction for seasonality. But more than that you'd need to take into account yearly trends in infectious disease, outbreaks, etc, it's a fairly large bit of work rather than a simple figure
