Data source:
German Environment Agency
Geographic coverage:
Germany
Unit of measurement:
Number, DALYs
Notes:
The upper and lower estimator (confidence interval) represent the uncertainty of the calculation based on the relative risk. Number of attributable deaths: Number of deaths that can be statistically attributed to long-term exposure to particulate matter (PM2,5). Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs): Number of healthy life years lost due to death and morbidity caused by diseases that can be statistically attributed to long-term exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2,5).
This overview contains information on the time series shown that are available in Germany and their compliance with the UN metadata. The national metadata contains supplementary methodological and country-specific information.
Time series available

Compliance with the UN metadata
The time series are not compliant with the UN metadata, but provide additional information.
This overview contains information on the metadata of the SDG indicator shown, as defined by the United Nations Statistical Commission. The complete UN metadata is provided by the United Nations Statistical Division (UNSD).
Target
By 2030, substantially reduce the number of deaths and illnesses from hazardous chemicals and air, water and soil pollution and contamination
