The highest number of deaths attributable to nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) exposure in Europe in 2021 occurred in Turkey, at approximately 13,000. That same year, there were more than 50 thousand deaths in the EU linked to NO₂ exposure above the 2021 World Health Organization AQ guideline level of 10 µg/m³.
Number of premature deaths attributable to nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) exposure in Europe in 2021, by country
Exposure to NO₂ concentrations above the 2021 WHO AQ guideline level of 10 micrograms (one-millionth of a gram) per cubic meter air (µg/m³).
Attributable deaths are deaths statistically attributable to exposure to a risk factor, e.g. air pollution. The attribution is based on the evidence from studies for the causal link between a risk factor and a health outcome leading to death. Attributable deaths are considered preventable if their cause can be eliminated.
