1 Age-dependent health risk from ambient air pollution: a modelling and data analysis of childhood mortality in middle-income and low-income countries  Prof Jos Lelieveld, PhD, Prof Andy Haines, F Med Sci, Andrea Pozzer, PhD  The Lancet Planetary Health  Volume 2, Issue 7, Pages e292-e300 (July 2018) DOI: /S (18) Copyright © 2018 The Author(s).

2 Figure 1 Sources of mortality from air pollution
Percentages are the proportions of the deaths attributable to ambient air pollution. Excess deaths attributable to air pollution in 2015 were estimated at 120 000 (95% CI 81 000–156 000) in the USA and 967 000 (753 000–1 150 000) in India. Natural refers to natural sources of air pollution, predominantly aeolian dust. The Lancet Planetary Health 2018 2, e292-e300DOI: ( /S (18) ) Copyright © 2018 The Author(s).

5 Figure 4 YLLs from ambient air pollution by disease category
Global YLLs in 2015 were estimated at 122 million. LRI=lower respiratory tract infections. COPD=chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. YLL=years of life lost.
