Shows excess mortality due to PM2.5 from the aviation sector for four outcomes under each of the four scenarios. The lower and upper bounds were calculated using the lower and upper bounds of each of the three parameters in the health impact calculations. Present day population was used for both 2006 and 2050 calculations.
