This database refers to burned area, particulate matter with a diameter of 10 or 2.5 micrometers (μm)  or less (PM10, PM2.5), carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), ozone (O3), temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, aerosol optical depth (AOD) and mortality rates of Circulatory System Disease (CSD), Respiratory System Disease (RSD), Pneumonia (PNEU), Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), and Asthma (ASMA) used on the article Fire-Pollutant-Atmosphere Components and Its Impact on Mortality in Portugal During Wildfire Seasons published at AGU GeoHealth in 2023. The full methodology is described in the article. The national monthly mean concentrations of PM10, PM2.5, CO, O3, and NO2 were used as five variables named PM10_Obs, PM25_Obs, CO_Obs, O3_Obs, and NO2_Obs for multivariate statistical analysis. Daily exceedances of the WHO guidelines for PM10, PM2.5, and NO2 were counted monthly and included as three variables named WHO_PM10, WHO_PM25, and WHO_NO2 for multivariate statistical analysis. Meteorological data of air temperature at 2 meters above the surface (TEMP_Obs) and relative humidity (RH_Obs), and 10 m wind speed (WS_Obs) from 43 meteorological stations in mainland Portugal. The CAMS global reanalysis monthly averaged fields of the Total aerosol optical depth at 550 nm (AOD_CAMs), Black carbon aerosol optical depth at 550 nm (BC_AOD_CAMs) and Dust aerosol optical depth at 550 nm (Dust_AOD_CAMs) were used. Standardized mortality rates (per 100 000 inhabitants - all ages) were selected according to the International Classification of Diseases, version 11 (ICD-11; https://icd.who.int/browse11/l-m/en): Circulatory System Diseases (CSD) (ICD-11: 1B40 - BE2Z); Respiratory System Diseases (RSD) (ICD-11: CA00 - CB40); Pneumonia (PNEU) (ICD-11: CA40 - CA40.Z); Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) (ICD-11: CA20.Z - CA22.Z); and Asthma (ASMA) (ICD-11: CA23 - CA23.3). Monthly national mortality data for Portugal were provided by the National Institute of Statistics (INE) (INE; https://www.ine.pt/).
