Epidemiological repository on particulate matter and mortality

This epidemiological repository is a compilation of quantitative information on the magnitude of mortality risks related to long-term exposure to ambient particulate matter, identified through a two-stage search strategy of epidemiological studies. Therefore, the aims of this repository are: • to provide decision-makers, policymakers, researchers and all interested parties in countries around the world an easily accessible database with exposure-risk relationships between ambient particulate matter and mortality; • to serve as a complementary tool for health impact and/or burden of disease assessments from air pollution, together with software such as AirQ+; and • to provide an easily accessible and transparent input data used for the most recent update of the burden of disease estimation due to air pollution carried out by WHO (2022).
