Historical Trends in PM2.5-Related Premature Mortality during 1990-2010 across the Northern Hemisphere

Conclusions: Over the past two decades, correlations between population and PM2.5 have become weaker in Europe and North America due to air pollution controls but stronger in East Asia due to deteriorating air quality. Mitigation of primary PM appears to be the most efficient way for increasing health benefits, i.e., providing the largest mortality reduction per unit emissions. However, reductions in emissions of NH3 are needed to maximize the effectiveness of NOx emission controls.
