Global air pollution mortality levels. Computer model showing the estimated global variations in mortality levels due to air pollution. The colour-coding shows the estimated change in the number of premature deaths per year per 1000 square kilometres. The changes range on a logarithmic scale from minus 1000 (blue) to plus 1000 (orange). The model is based on the difference in pollution levels between 1850 and 2000. Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) has had a large impact in eastern China, northern India, and Europe, where urbanisation has added large quantities of PM2.5 to the atmosphere since the start of the Industrial Revolution.
