As the two most populous countries in the world, it is no surprise that China and India have by far the most annual deaths attributable to ambient particulate matter pollution. Since 1990, the number of lives cut short due to PM2.5 exposure has increased dramatically. Developing nations have seen deaths rise since 1990, whilst in developed nations these numbers have decreased. For example, in 1990 there were an estimated 63,000 premature deaths in Germany, compared to 27,000 in 2019.
