Journal ArticleDOI
The contribution of outdoor air pollution sources to premature mortality on a global scale
TL;DR: It is found that emissions from residential energy use such as heating and cooking, prevalent in India and China, have the largest impact on premature mortality globally, being even more dominant if carbonaceous particles are assumed to be most toxic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Model calculated global, regional and megacity premature mortality due to air pollution
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors estimate the premature mortality rates and the years of human life lost (YLL) caused by anthropogenic PM 2.5 and O 3 in 2005 for epidemiological regions defined by the World Health Organization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeled global effects of airborne desert dust on air quality and premature mortality
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the EMAC atmospheric-chemistry general circulation model at high resolution to simulate global atmospheric dust concentrations and applied a health impact function to estimate premature mortality for the global population of 30 yr and older, using parameters from epidemiological studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Implementing the US air quality standard for PM2.5 worldwide can prevent millions of premature deaths per year
TL;DR: The results reflect the need to adopt stricter limits for annual mean PM2.5 levels globally, like the US standard of 12 μg/m3 or an even lower limit to substantially reduce premature mortality in most of the world.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimating health and economic benefits of reductions in air pollution from agriculture
TL;DR: A cost-benefit assessment of ammonia emission abatement options for the EU indicates that the reduction of agricultural emissions generates net financial and social benefits.
