Fossil fuel-attributable air pollution deaths

OBJECTIVES To estimate all-cause and cause-specific deaths attributable to fossil fuel-related air pollution and to assess potential health benefits from policies that replace fossil fuels with clean, renewable energy sources. METHODS An updated atmospheric composition model, a newly developed relative risk model and recent satellite-based data were used to determine exposure to ambient air pollution, estimate all-cause and disease-specific mortality, and attribute them to emission categories. DATA SOURCES Data of the Global Burden of Disease 2019, NASA satellite-based fine particulate matter and population data, and atmospheric chemistry, aerosol and relative risk modelling for 2019.

研究目标：估算由化石燃料相关空气污染引起的所有原因和特定原因死亡人数，并评估以清洁、可再生能源替代化石燃料的政策可能带来的健康益处。研究方法：采用更新后的大气组成模型、新开发的相对风险模型以及最新的基于卫星的数据，以确定环境空气污染的暴露水平，估算所有原因和疾病特异性死亡率，并将其归因于排放类别。数据来源：全球疾病负担2019年的数据、基于NASA卫星的细颗粒物和人口数据，以及2019年的大气化学、气溶胶和相对风险建模数据。
