Deaths and DALYs attributable to air pollution in India in 2019

	Number of deaths, millions*	Percentage of total deaths†	Number of DALYs, millions*	Percentage of total DALYs†
Air pollution	1·67 (1·42–1·92)	17·8% (15·8–19·5)	53·5 (46·6–60·9)	11·5% (10·2–12·8)
Ambient particulate matter pollution	0·98 (0·77–1·19)	10·4% (8·4–12·3)	31·1 (24·6–37·5)	6·7% (5·3–8·0)
Household air pollution	0·61 (0·39–0·86)	6·5% (4·3–9·0)	20·9 (14·1–28·7)	4·5% (3·0–6·1)
Ambient ozone pollution	0·17 (0·08–0·26)	1·8% (0·9–2·7)	3·06 (1·51–4·83)	0·7% (0·3–1·0)

Data are point estimate (95% UI). DALYs=disability-adjusted life-years.

^*The sums of deaths and DALYs attributable to each component of air pollution are more than the estimates for overall air pollution because the population attributable fractions from component risk factors can add up to more than the population attributable fraction for the parent risk factor, even if the components are independent.

^†In 2019, 9·39 million total deaths and 467·8 million total DALYs were estimated for India.⁴²
