Global particulate matter life cycle impact assessment maps

This dataset contains global raster maps to calculate particulate matter life cycle impacts from primary fine particulate matter (PM2.5), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and ammonia (NH3) emissions. It also includes the R source code to reproduce these maps, a case study on the particulate matter health impacts of global coal power generation, and aggregated characterization factor tables for several spatial resolutions that are commonly used in life cycle assessment (LCA) (for example in the ecoinvent life cycle inventory (LCI) database).
