Mortality rate attributed to household and ambient air pollution
• The confidence interval (CI) is shown as a dashed line in the chart. • Number of attributable deaths: Number of deaths that can be statistically attributed to long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM₂.₅).
Notes:
• The confidence interval (CI) is shown as a dashed line in the chart. • 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).

Number, DALYs
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).
