Premature mortality in India due to PMâ.â and ozone exposure
Listed in National Center for Atmospheric Research
This bottom-up modeling study, supported by new population census 2011 data, simulates ozone (Oâ) and fine particulate matter (PMâ.â ) exposure on local to regional scales.
Description
It quantifies, present-day premature mortalities associated with the exposure to near-surface PMâ.â and Oâ concentrations in India using a regional chemistry model. We estimate that PMâ.â exposure leads to about 570,000 (CI95: 320,000-730,000) premature mortalities in 2011.
On a national scale, our estimate of mortality by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) due to Oâ exposure is about 12,000 people. The Indo-Gangetic region accounts for a large part (~42%) of the estimated mortalities. The associated lost life expectancy is calculated as 3.4â±â1.1âyears for all of India with highest values found for Delhi (6.3â±â2.2âyears).

The economic cost of estimated premature mortalities associated with PMâ.â and Oâ exposure is about 640 (350-800) billion USD in 2011, which is a factor of 10 higher than total expenditure on health by public and private expenditure.
