The Burden of Air Pollution (PM) in Subnational Australian Life Expectancy.

Australia is renowned for having some of the cleanest air globally, yet air pollution remains a persistent issue that significantly impacts life expectancy. This study quantifies the burden of annual ambient particulate matter (PM) in Australia's life expectancy: measuring life-years lost (LYL) from 2001-2019, considering geographical and demographic differences. Data were obtained from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the Australian Human Mortality Database, and the Centre for Safe Air.
