About
This dataset provides critical insights into mortality rates due to air pollution across various countries between 1990 and 2017. It highlights the significant impact of air pollution, both indoor and outdoor, on human lives globally. The data serves to open eyes to this pressing issue, offering a foundation for understanding the scale of deaths caused by different types of air pollution.
Columns
- Entity: The name of the country.
- Code: The unique code identifying each country.
- Year: The specific year the data pertains to, ranging from 1990 to 2017.
- Air pollution (total) (deaths per 100,000): The total number of deaths attributable to air pollution per 100,000 people.
- Indoor air pollution (deaths per 100,000): Deaths specifically caused by indoor air pollution per 100,000 people.
- Outdoor particulate matter (deaths per 100,000): Deaths due to outdoor particulate matter pollution per 100,000 people.
- Outdoor ozone pollution (deaths per 100,000): Deaths specifically attributed to outdoor ozone pollution per 100,000 people.
Distribution
The dataset is typically provided in a CSV format and is approximately 604.16 kB in size. It comprises 7 distinct columns and contains 6468 records, detailing mortality statistics across numerous countries. Data for the 'Code' column has some missing values.
Usage
This dataset is ideal for:
- Conducting geopolitical analysis to understand regional disparities in air pollution mortality.
- Forecasting future trends in air pollution-related deaths.
- Investigating which types of air pollution (indoor, outdoor particulate matter, or ozone) are more dangerous.
- Creating impactful data visualisations to communicate the severity of air pollution.
- Supporting research into environmental health and policy development.
Coverage
The dataset spans countries worldwide, featuring data for 231 unique countries. The time range covered is from 1990 to 2017, offering a historical perspective on air pollution mortality. It focuses on death rates per 100,000, providing country-level statistics without specific demographic breakdowns beyond this.
