Ozone exposure

This indicator measures the amount of deaths and disease resulting from exposure to tropospheric ozone. Estimates from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation’s Global Burden of Disease study report the age-standardized disability-adjusted life-year lost per 100,000 persons (DALY rate). A score of 100 indicates the lowest observed DALY rates around the world, and a score of 0 indicates the highest.
