Note:
Premature deaths for the different scenarios were calculated on the assumption that all PM2.5 concentrations for 2019 over the level under consideration were reduced to that respective level, while concentrations in areas that already attain or were below that level remained unchanged.
Numbers of premature deaths are rounded to the nearest hundred.
Percentages are founded to the nearest integer.
