Global PM2.5-attributable health burden from 1990 to 2017: estimates from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2017

CONCLUSION: In conclusion, ambient PM2.5-attributable NCDs have threatened public health in middle and low SDI countries, while household PM2.5-attributable LRI still caused the largest burden in low SDI countries. More positive strategies should be tailored to reduce PM2.5-attributable burdens considering specific settings globally.PMID:33823194 | DOI:10.1016/j.envres.2021.111123
