Dataset
To provide estimates for relative risks due to exposure to particulate matter.
Data covers the period 1990-2019.
Dataset consists of risks due to exposure to particulate matter for ischemic heart disease, stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, lung cancer, acute lower respiratory infection, type 2 diabetes mellitus, birthweight, gestational age shifts, low birthweight (<2500g) and pre-term births (<37 weeks).
Splines are generated using the MR-BRT meta-regression tool and input data from epidemiologic studies of exposure to ambient air pollution, household air pollution from the use of solid fuels, and second hand tobacco smoke.
