Notes:
The upper and lower estimator (confidence interval) represent the uncertainty of the calculation based on the relative risk. Number of attributable deaths: Number of deaths that can be statistically attributed to long-term exposure to particulate matter (PM2,5). Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs): Number of healthy life years lost due to death and morbidity caused by diseases that can be statistically attributed to long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2,5).
