Caveats

Modelled estimate combining pollution maps with death rates — not directly counted deaths.
No confidence intervals published; small year-to-year moves may be modelling noise.
Lower means a smaller estimated share of deaths linked to pollution.

Missing or suppressed values are never shown as zero — every card above passed validation with a real numeric value.
