Supplementary notes

The source specified the following information:
"Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is the air pollutant that poses the greatest risk to health globally, affecting more people than any other pollutant (WHO, 2018). Chronic exposure to PM2.5 considerably increases the risk of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases in particular (WHO, 2018)."
The figures are presented for 15 regions with the highest average exposure to PM2.5 concentration.
