* Exposure to PM2.5 concentrations above the 2021 WHO AQ guideline level of 5 µg/m³. ** Exposure to NO₂ concentrations above the 2021 WHO AQ guideline level of 10 µg/m³. *** Exposure to O3 concentrations above the 2021 WHO guideline level of 60µg/m3.
Attributable deaths are deaths statistically attributable to exposure to a risk factor, e.g. air pollution. The attribution is based on the evidence from studies for the causal link between a risk factor and a health outcome leading to death. Attributable deaths are considered preventable if their cause can be eliminated.
