An estimated *** billion people are exposed to hazardous levels of air pollution worldwide, representing almost ** percent of the global population. The countries with the largest share of their populations exposed to hazardous concentrations of air pollution are Bangladesh, Nepal, and India, at more than ** percent. Overall, roughly ** percent of the global population are exposed to air pollution levels considered unsafe by the World Health Organization.

Air pollution levels in cities vary greatly around the world, though they are typically higher in developing regions. In 2024, the cities of Jakarta and Cairo had an average PM2.5 concentrations of **** and **** micrograms per cubic meter (μg/m³) respectively. By comparison, PM2.5 levels in London and New York were less than ***** μg/m³. Nevertheless, pollution levels in these four major cities are all higher than the World Health Organization's healthy limit, which are set at an annual average of less than **** μg/m³. There are many sources of air pollution, such as energy production, transportation, and agricultural activities.

Abstract

Polluted air is a major health hazard in developing countries. Improvements in pollution monitoring and statistical techniques during the last several decades have steadily enhanced the ability to measure the health effects of air pollution. Current methods can detect significant increases in the incidence of cardiopulmonary and respiratory diseases, coughing, bronchitis, and lung cancer, as well as premature deaths from these diseases resulting from elevated concentrations of ambient Particulate Matter (Holgate 1999).

Scarce public resources have limited the monitoring of atmospheric particulate matter (PM) concentrations in developing countries, despite their large potential health effects. As a result, policymakers in many developing countries remain uncertain about the exposure of their residents to PM air pollution. The Global Model of Ambient Particulates (GMAPS) is an attempt to bridge this information gap through an econometrically estimated model for predicting PM levels in world cities (Pandey et al. forthcoming).

The estimation model is based on the latest available monitored PM pollution data from the World Health Organization, supplemented by data from other reliable sources. The current model can be used to estimate PM levels in urban residential areas and non-residential pollution hotspots. The results of the model are used to project annual average ambient PM concentrations for residential and non-residential areas in 3,226 world cities with populations larger than 100,000, as well as national capitals.

The study finds wide, systematic variations in ambient PM concentrations, both across world cities and over time. PM concentrations have risen at a slower rate than total emissions. Overall emission levels have been rising, especially for poorer countries, at nearly 6 percent per year. PM concentrations have not increased by as much, due to improvements in technology and structural shifts in the world economy. Additionally, within-country variations in PM levels can diverge greatly (by a factor of 5 in some cases), because of the direct and indirect effects of geo-climatic factors.

The primary determinants of PM concentrations are the scale and composition of economic activity, population, the energy mix, the strength of local pollution regulation, and geographic and atmospheric conditions that affect pollutant dispersion in the atmosphere.

China and India saw the largest number of air pollution-related deaths worldwide in 2021, with more than *********** recorded in each. Together, the world's two most populous countries accounted for approximately ** percent of global deaths from diseases linked to air pollution that year. Health effects of air pollution There are a number of health impacts linked to air pollution. These range from milder symptoms like sore throats and irritated eyes, to more serious effects that increase the risk of premature mortality, including strokes, heart disease, and lung cancer. Where is air pollution highest? In 2024, the world's most polluted countries based on PM2.5 concentrations were Chad, Bangladesh, and Pakistan, with average levels in each country more than ** times above World Health Organization (WHO) recommended guidelines. Although India ranked fifth that year, it was still home to ** of the ** most polluted cities in the world in 2024.

The Global Air Quality Data dataset provides an extensive compilation of air quality measurements from various prominent cities worldwide. This dataset includes crucial environmental indicators such as particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), carbon monoxide (CO), and ozone (O3), along with meteorological data like temperature, humidity, and wind speed. With 10,000 records, this dataset is ideal for researchers, data scientists, and policy makers looking to analyze air quality trends, understand the impact of pollution on health, and develop strategies for environmental improvement.

The dataset is composed of the following columns:

City: The name of the city where the air quality measurement was taken. Country: The country in which the city is located. Date: The date when the measurement was recorded. PM2.5: The concentration of fine particulate matter with a diameter of less than 2.5 micrometers (µg/m³). PM10: The concentration of particulate matter with a diameter of less than 10 micrometers (µg/m³). NO2: The concentration of nitrogen dioxide (µg/m³). SO2: The concentration of sulfur dioxide (µg/m³). CO: The concentration of carbon monoxide (mg/m³). O3: The concentration of ozone (µg/m³). Temperature: The temperature at the time of measurement (°C). Humidity: The humidity level at the time of measurement (%). Wind Speed: The wind speed at the time of measurement (m/s).

This dataset provides geolocated information about the following pollutants: NO2 : nitrogen dioxide is one of the several nitrogen oxides. It is introduced into the air by natural phenomena like entry from stratosphere, or lighting. At the surface level, however, NO2 forms from cars, trucks and buses emissions, power plants and off-road equipment. Exposure over short periods can aggravate respiratory diseases, like asthma. Longer exposures may contribute to develoment of asthma and respiratory infections. People with asthma, children and the elderly are at greater risk for the health effects of NO2.O3 : the ozone molecule is harmful for outdoor air quality (if outside of the ozone layer). At surface level, ozone is created by chemical reactions between oxides of nitrogen and volatile organic compounds (VOC). Differently from the good ozone located in the upper atmosphere, ground level ozone can provoke several health problems like chest pain, coughing, throat irritation and airway inflammation. Furthermore it can reduce lung function and worsen bronchitis, emphysema, and asthma. Ozone affects also vegetation and ecosystems. In particular, it damages sensitive vegetation during the growing season.CO : carbon monoxide is a colorless and odorless gas. Outdoor, it is emitted in the air above all by cars, trucks and other vehicles or machineries that burn fossil fuels. Such items like kerosene and gas space heaters, gas stoves also release CO affecting indoor air quality.Breathing air with a high concentration of CO reduces the amount of oxygen that can be transported in the blood stream to critical organs like the heart and brain. At very high levels, which are not likely to occur outdoor, but which are possible in enclosed environments, CO can cause dizziness, confusion, unconsciousness and death.PM10 : atmospheric particulate matter (PM), also known as atmospheric aerosol particles, are complex mixtures of small solid and liquid matter that get into the air. If inhaled they can cause serious heart and lungs problem. They have been classified as group 1 carcinogen by the International Agengy for Research on Cancer (IARC). PM10 refers to those particules with a diameter of 10 micrometers or less.PM2.5 : they refer to those particles with a diameter of 2.5 micrometers or less.

Air pollution globalization, as a combined effect of atmospheric transport and international trade, can lead to notable transboundary health impacts. Life expectancy reduction attribution analysis of transboundary pollution can reveal the effect of pollution globalization on the lives of individuals. This study coupled five state-of-the-art models to link the regional per capita life expectancy reduction to cross-boundary pollution transport attributed to consumption in other regions. Our results revealed that pollution due to consumption in other regions contributed to a global population-weighted PM2.5 concentration of 9 μg/m3 in 2017, thereby causing 1.03 million premature deaths and reducing the global average life expectancy by 0.23 year (≈84 days). Trade-induced transboundary pollution relocation led to a significant reduction in life expectancy worldwide (from 5 to 155 days per person), and even in the least polluted regions, such as North America, Western Europe, and Russia, a 12–61-day life expectancy reduction could be attributed to consumption in other regions. Our results reveal the individual risks originating from air pollution globalization. To protect human life, all regions and residents worldwide should jointly act together to reduce atmospheric pollution and its globalization as soon as possible.

Additional information about particulate matter(PM2,5 – PM10): Particulate matter (PM) refers to tiny particles suspended in the air that can be inhaled into the respiratory system. PM is classified by size, with PM2.5 and PM10 referring to particles that are 2.5 micrometers and 10 micrometers in diameter, respectively. PM2.5 particles are particularly harmful because they are small enough to pass through the respiratory system and enter the bloodstream, where they can cause a variety of health problems. PM2.5 and PM10 are often used as indicators of air quality, with higher concentrations of these particles in the air being associated with increased risk of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.

This layer shows particulate matter in the air sized 2.5 micrometers of smaller (PM 2.5). The data is aggregated from NASA Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center (SEDAC) gridded data into country boundaries, administrative 1 boundaries, and 50 km hex bins. The unit of measurement is micrograms per cubic meter.The layer shows the annual average PM 2.5 from 1998 to 2016, highlighting if the overall mean for an area meets the World Health Organization guideline of 10 micrograms per cubic meter annually. Areas that don't meet the guideline and are above the threshold are shown in red, and areas that are lower than the guideline are in grey.The data is averaged for each year and over the the 19 years to provide an overall picture of air quality globally. Some of the things we can learn from this layer:What is the average annual PM 2.5 value over 19 years? (1998-2016)What is the annual average PM 2.5 value for each year from 1998 to 2016?What is the statistical trend for PM 2.5 over the 19 years? (downward or upward)Are there hot spots (or cold spots) of PM 2.5 over the 19 years?How many people are impacted by the air quality in an area?What is the death rate caused by the joint effects of air pollution?Choose a different attribute to symbolize in order to reveal any of the patterns above.A space time cube was performed on a multidimensional mosaic version of the data in order to derive an emerging hot spot analysis, trends, and a 19-year average. The country and administrative 1 layers provide a population-weighted PM 2.5 value to emphasize which areas have a higher human impact. Citations:van Donkelaar, A., R. V. Martin, M. Brauer, N. C.

If using this layer for analysis, it is recommended to start by projecting the data back to Behrmann.The country and administrative layer were dissolved and joined with population figures in order to visualize human impact.The dissolve tool ensures that each geographic area is only symbolized once within the map.Country boundaries were generalized post-analysis for visualization purposes. The tolerance used was 700m. If performing analysis with this layer, find detailed country boundaries in ArcGIS Living Atlas. To create the population-weighted attributes on the country and Admin 1 layers, the hex value population values were used to create the weighting. Within each hex bin, the total population figure and average PM 2.5 were multiplied.The hex bins were converted into centroids and the PM2.5 and population figures were summarized within the country and Admin 1 boundaries.The summation of the PM 2.5 values were then divided by the total population of each geography. This population value was determined by summarizing the population values from the hex bins within each geography.Some artifacts in the hex bin layer as a result of the input NASA rasters. Because the gridded surface is created from multiple satellites, there are strips within some areas that are a result of satellite paths. Some areas also have more of a continuous pattern between hex bins as a result of the input rasters.Within the country layer, an air pollution attributable death rate is included. 2016 figures are offered by the World Health Organization (WHO). Values are offered as a mean, upper value, lower value, and also offered as age standardized. Values are for deaths caused by all possible air pollution related diseases, for both sexes, and all age groups. For more information visit this page, and here for methodology. According to WHO, the world average was 95 deaths per 100,000 people.To learn the techniques used in this analysis, visit the Learn ArcGIS lesson Investigate Pollution Patterns with Space-Time Analysis by Esri's Kevin Bulter and Lynne Buie.
