a

Incidence estimates rounded to two significant figures. PM-related premature deaths based on effect estimates derived from Krewski et al 2009 26]; ozone-related premature deaths based on effect estimates derived from Bell et al 2004 [27]. Attributable deaths estimated using population projected to each year.

b

Percent change calculated on estimates prior to rounding.

‘All Non-mobile Sectors’ includes biogenics, fugitive dusts, agricultural ammonia, oil and gas exploration, non-Electricity Generating Unit point, Electricity Generating Unit point, non-point, fires (wild, prescribed, agricultural), biomass burning, and initial/boundary condition emissions.
