PM2.5, ozone, and NO2 data for ~13,000 cities worldwide

Access the website

This website provides estimates of fine particulate matter (PM2.5), nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and ozone (O3) concentrations and associated disease burdens in >13,000 urban areas globally from 2000-2019. Methods are consistent with the Global Burden of Disease 2019 study, to the extent possible.
