Summary

Description
English: An overview of published estimates of the death toll from air pollution

In this chart I plotted estimates of the death toll from air pollution.

The two most widely cited, and regularly updated estimates for the death toll from air pollution come from the World Health Organization (WHO) and the IHME’s Global Burden of Disease study. Their latest estimates are very close to each other – they estimate 7 million and 6.7 million deaths per year, respectively. These deaths are attributed to both indoor and outdoor pollution and – as explained below – stem from man-made and natural sources of air pollution.

In the last section of this text I discuss these studies and what each estimate refers to in more detail.
