Ozone exposure

We measure ozone exposure using the number of age-standardized disability-adjusted life-years lost per 100,000 persons (DALY rate) due to exposure to ground-level ozone pollution. A score of 100 indicates a country has a DALY rate of 1, while a score of 0 indicates a DALY rate of 250. Data for this indicator come from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) study of the Institute for Health Metrics & Evaluation (IHME).
