Ambient PM2.5 burden and fractional source sector, fuel, and disease contributions for the global average and top nine countries

Caption

Map: Nationallevel outdoor PM2.5 disease burden in 2017 (from the 2019 Global Burden of Disease concentration-response relationships). Panels: Annual average population-weighted PM2.5 exposure levels and attributable mortality (rounded to the nearest 1000). (Left pie charts) fractional sectoral source contributions. 'Other fires' include deforestation, boreal forest, peat, savannah, and temperate forest fires. 'Remaining sources' include volcanic SO2, lightning NOx, biogenic soil NO, aircraft emissions, and oceanic and biogenic sources
