Abstract

Rationale: Air quality improvements are increasingly difficult to come by as modern pollution

control technologies and measures have been widely implemented in the United States. While

there has been dramatic improvements in air quality over the last several decades, it is

important to evaluate the changes in health impacts of air pollution for a more recent time

period in order to better understand the current trajectory of air quality improvements.

Objectives): To provide county-level estimates of annual air pollution-related health outcomes

across the U.S. and to evaluate these trends from 2008-2017, presented as part of the annual

ATS/Marron Institute “Health of the Air” report.

Methods: Daily air pollution values were obtained from the EPA Air Quality System for monitors

in the U.S. from 2008-2017. Concentration-response functions used in the ATS/Marron Institute

"Health of the Air" report were applied to the pollution increments corresponding to

differences between the rolling three-year design values (reported as the third year) and ATS-

recommended levels for annual PM2.5 (11 µg/m3), short-term PM2.5 (25 µg/m3), and O3 (60

ppb). Health impacts were estimated at the county level in locations with valid monitor data.

Results: Annual excess mortality in the United States, from air pollution levels greater than

recommended by the ATS, decreased from approximately 12,600 (95% CI: 5,470 - 21,040) in

2010 to 7,140 (95% CI: 2,290 - 14,040) in 2017. This improvement can be attributed almost

entirely to reductions in PM2.5-related mortality which decreased approximately 60% (reduced

from 8,330 to 3,260 annual deaths) while O3-related mortality remained largely unchanged,

other than year-to-year variability, over the same time period (from 4,270 to 3,880 annual

deaths).

Conclusions: Improvements in health impacts attributable to ambient PM2.5 concentrations

have been observed across most regions of the United States over the last decade, although the

rate of these improvements has leveled off in recent years. Despite two revisions of the

National Ambient Air Quality Standards strengthening the standard for O3 in 2008 and 2015,

there has not yet been a substantial improvement in the health impacts attributable to O3

during this time period. In many U.S. cities, an increase in the exposed population over the last

decade has outpaced the improvements in ambient O3 concentrations resulting in a net

increase in O3-related health impacts over time.

Government and scientific institutions commonly state that air quality has improved

dramatically in the U.S. since the passage of the Clean Air Act (1970) and its subsequent

amendments. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reports that between 1970 and

1990, Clean Air Act implementations prevented approximately 184,000 particulate matter

(PM)-associated deaths, over ten million cases of PM- and ozone (O3)-associated respiratory

and cardiovascular disease, and over 200 million lost school or work days (1). Following 1990

revisions to the Clean Air Act, the EPA found that by 2010 another nearly 165,000 mortalities

were prevented from reductions in fine particles (PM2.5) and O3 concentrations across the U.S.

as well as millions of additional morbidities and impacted days (2). Published studies in the

scientific literature have also concluded that reduced concentrations of PM2.5 and O3 in the U.S.

since the passage of federal air quality standards have resulted in the prevention of associated

mortalities and morbidities as well as significant improvements in life expectancy over the last

several decades (3-5).

However, there has been much less evaluation of changes in ambient air pollution and

its associated health impacts that have occurred more recently, in particular over the last ten

years (6, 7). Many of the policy actions and regulations that have resulted in dramatic

reductions in ambient pollution concentrations since the 1970 passage of the Clean Air Act and

the 1990 revisions to the Act have already been fully implemented, making additional

improvements in air quality increasingly difficult to come by (8, 9). Additionally, O3, produced

from reactions of precursor pollutants in the presence of sunlight, is predicted to increase in

the U.S. due to rising global temperatures (10). While it is not inevitable that there will be a

slowdown in further improvement in ambient air quality, it is important to evaluate the

changes in health impacts of air pollution for a more recent time period in order to better

understand the current trajectory of air quality improvements in the U.S.

The annual "Health of the Air" report is well positioned to evaluate the trends in air

pollution and health in recent years by providing county-level estimates of annual air pollution-

related health outcomes that have occurred from 2008-2017. The systematic approach that has

been developed in the "Health of the Air" report allows for an in-depth understanding of local

air quality impacts, allowing local policymakers and pollution managers to track progress over

time. This information can serve as a valuable resource to the public, as well as decision makers

at the federal and local level, in crafting policies and implementation strategies to best address

the public health impacts of ambient air pollution concentrations greater than levels

recommended by the American Thoracic Society (ATS).

Methods

Methods described in the most recent "Health of the Air" report were applied in this study to

calculate health estimates from air pollution levels above ATS recommendations (11, 12). The

approach mimics the one utilized by the U.S. EPA in its regulatory review processes to estimate

health impacts from PM2.5 and O3 in monitored counties across the nation. In addition to

predicting health impacts from air pollution exceeding ATS recommendations for the most

recently available data (design values for 2015-2017), this year’s report incorporates an analysis

examining air pollution trends from the past ten years. These methods are summarized below.

Daily O3 and PM2.5 measurements were obtained from the EPA Air Quality System for

design value monitors for each year from 2008-2017. These values were used to create annual

baseline and control datasets using a 24-hour metric for PM2.5 and three separate metrics (1-

hour maximum, 8-hour maximum, and 24-hour mean) for O3. Baseline values were equivalent

to the rolling 3-year design values for each monitor. These design values correspond to the 3-

year average of the annual mean concentration for PM2.5; the 3-year average of the 24-hour

98th percentile value for PM2.5; and the 3-year average of the fourth highest daily 8-hour

maximum O3 concentration. Control values were based on ATS recommendations of 11 µg/m3

for annual PM2.5, 25 µg/m3 for 24-hour PM2.5, and 60 ppb for O3 (13, 14). These cutoffs are

lower than the existing National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) of 12 µg/m3 for annual

PM2.5, 35 µg/m3 for 24-hour PM2.5, and 70 ppb for O3. The ATS-recommended levels used in this

analysis are in accordance with previous ATS publications, which find that existing NAAQS are

insufficient in protecting human health and emphasize the need for more health-protective

regulations (15, 16).

For each year from 2010-2017, baseline concentrations (corresponding to 3-year county

design values) and control concentrations (corresponding to ATS recommendations) were

paired by county and run through BenMAP-CE (version 1.4.14.1). Given that design values are

three-year rolling estimates, the reported year corresponds to the third year in each grouping

(i.e., pollution levels from 2008-2010 are reported in the results as 2010). Figures E1-E3 in the

supplement show design value trends for each pollutant over the last three “Health of the Air”

report years (2011-2013, 2013-2015, and 2015-2017). Concentration-response relationships

from epidemiological studies, based on EPA standard health functions, were used to calculate

Page 6 of 86

Page 7: Trends in Excess Morbidity and Mortality …Trends in Excess Morbidity and Mortality Associated with Air Pollution above ATS-Recommended Standards, 2008 to 2017 Kevin R. Cromar1,2,

the health impacts of pollution levels above ATS recommendations for each county (see Table

E1 in the data supplement for a full list of studies used). These health impacts include mortality;

major morbidity (acute myocardial infarction, chronic bronchitis, cardiovascular and respiratory

hospital admissions, and asthma-related emergency department visits); and adversely impacted

days (restricted activity days, work loss days, and school loss days). Additionally, excess lung

cancer incidence from PM2.5 exceeding ATS recommendations was estimated outside of

BenMAP-CE using a pooled risk value derived from a separate meta-analysis (see Table E2 in the

data supplement) and based on 2011-2015 statistics available from the National Cancer

Institute (17).

All health estimates were aggregated to the county, city, state, and national levels and

compared across years in R software (version 3.5.1). Health estimates, searchable by city or zip

code, are available to the public using this report’s accompanying online tool

(HealthoftheAir.org).

Results

Table 1 summarizes the 2017 estimated national health impacts from PM2.5 and O3 in excess of

ATS-recommended levels. The combined health impacts of these pollutants in 2017 is

estimated to have resulted in approximately 7,140 excess mortalities (95% CI: 2,290 – 14,040),

15,680 major morbidities (95% CI: -19,940 – 55,070), and 14,404,000 adversely impacted days

(95% CI: 5,119,000 – 26,768,000). An additional 640 (95% CI: 330-950) excess cases of lung

cancer incidence were also attributed to PM2.5 in 2017.

The air pollution-related mortality impacts in the U.S. in 2017 for PM2.5 was estimated at

3,260 excess deaths (95% CI: 2,210 – 4,310), which is similar in magnitude to the estimated

3,880 excess deaths (95% CI: 83 – 14,040) attributable to O3. The geographic distribution of

these estimated health impacts was more evenly spread across the United States for O3 as

compared to PM2.5. Of the 530 counties with valid PM2.5 design values, only 78 (15%) did not

meet ATS-recommended concentrations; in contrast, 599 (83%) of the 726 counties with valid

O3 design values did not meet ATS recommendations.

It is important to note that while there are over 3,000 counties in the U.S., estimates of

health impacts were only made in those areas with valid design values. Unmonitored counties

are typically more rural and have lower population densities than monitored counties. While

lower population counties are required to have air quality monitors if their design values

measure at least 85% of NAAQS, there are undoubtedly some counties exceeding

recommended levels that remain unmonitored (18). As a result, additional health impacts that

would otherwise be included are not estimated in this report due to the lack of air quality

monitors in all counties that exceed ATS-recommended levels.

While the national mortality estimates were generally comparable in magnitude

between the two pollutants in 2017, PM2.5 estimates were about two-thirds of O3 for morbidity

and one-fourth of O3 for impacted days. Major morbidity estimates were 5,600 (95% CI: 1,800 –

9,270) for PM2.5 and 10,080 (95% CI: -21,740 – 45,800) for O3; impacted days were 2,804,000

(95% CI: 2,303,000 – 3,302,000) for PM2.5 and 11,600,000 (95% CI: 2,816,000 – 23,467,000) for

O3.

Tables 2 and 3 show the top 25 cities (more specifically, metropolitan statistical areas

and metropolitan districts) with the most to gain from meeting ATS-recommended air pollution

standards for PM2.5 and O3. The rankings for these cities are most heavily based on mortality

estimates, followed by lung cancer incidence, major morbidities, and finally impacted days

(weightings for each category are described in Tables 2 and 3). The top two cities for both

pollutants are Los Angeles (Long Beach-Glendale) and Riverside (San Bernardino-Ontario) in

California. Together, these two cities make up 89% of the estimated air pollution-related deaths

in California, and nearly a third of estimated excess deaths across the entire country. Health

estimates and design values in 2017 for every U.S. county with a validated air quality monitor

are shown in Table E4 in the data supplement.

Trends in national health impacts from 2008-2017 (reported by the third year of each

three-year rolling average) are shown in Figure 1. Trends in annual excess mortality in the U.S.

from air pollution levels above ATS-recommended standards show that there has been a

combined reduction from PM2.5 and O3 of approximately 12,600 excess deaths (95% CI: 5,470 -

21,040) in 2010 to 7,140 excess deaths (95% CI: 2,290 - 14,040) in 2017. Most of this

improvement is attributed to reductions in PM2.5-related mortality (with changes in O3-related

mortality being best described as year-to-year variability). Similar trends are reported in Table

E3 in the supplement showing annual mortality, major morbidity, adversely impacted days, and

lung cancer incidence from 2010-2017, in aggregate and broken down by each pollutant.

The difference in trends for PM2.5 and O3 is also observed when comparing cities with

the highest numbers of excess deaths in 2010 and 2017 as shown in Figures 2 and 3 for PM2.5

and O3, respectively. Figure 2 shows that total number of excess deaths in the top 10 ranked

Page 9 of 86

Page 10: Trends in Excess Morbidity and Mortality …Trends in Excess Morbidity and Mortality Associated with Air Pollution above ATS-Recommended Standards, 2008 to 2017 Kevin R. Cromar1,2,

cities dropped substantially between these two years, with four cities (Chicago, IL; Houston, TX;

New York City, NY; and Cincinnati, OH) no longer appearing in the top 10 places most impacted

by PM2.5 by 2017. Instead, four new cities (Visalia, CA; Modesto, CA; Hanford, CA; and Seattle,

WA) rose in the ranks and are currently among the top 10. In contrast, the top 10 cities most

impacted by O3 remained largely similar between these two time points, with estimated deaths

remaining relatively unchanged or even slightly increased for many of the cities. Tables E5 and

E6 in the data supplement show ranks and deaths attributable to PM2.5 and O3, respectively, for

all cities with estimates from 2010-2017.

Lastly, Figure 4 compares the time trends between the two study pollutants at the state

level. Showing the two-year intervals in the percent of air pollution-related excess deaths

attributable to PM2.5 and O3 from 2011 to 2017, these maps reveal that PM2.5 went from

contributing to excess health impacts across much of the country to only comprising a majority

of excess air pollution-related health impacts in the western (particularly the northwestern)

parts of the U.S. Additionally, many parts of the country now meet ATS recommendations for

PM2.5. An examination of county-level data over the entire study period reveals that the

proportion of counties with valid design values failing to meet ATS recommendations for PM2.5

fell from 33% in 2010 to 15% in 2017, while the proportion of failing counties for O3 went from

93% in 2010 to 83% in 2017.

Discussion

Recent trends examined in this year’s "Health of the Air" report indicate that the mortality

impacts of air pollution above ATS-recommended levels fell by nearly half in the last decade.

This improvement can be attributed almost entirely to reductions in PM2.5-related mortality

which decreased by approximately 60% (reduced from 8,330 to 3,260 annual deaths), while O3-

related mortality remained largely unchanged, other than year-to-year variability, over the

same time period (from 4,270 to 3,880 annual deaths) as shown in Figure 1. This phenomenon

is observed nationwide, particularly in those cities with the highest pollution health impacts

(see Figures 2 and 3). However, the rate of PM2.5 improvement appears to have leveled off

since 2014; future reports will be able to determine whether this is a temporary slow-down or if

it represents a true leveling off of pollution impacts in the U.S.

While the magnitude of mortality impacts for air pollution levels greater than ATS

recommendations are quantitatively similar for PM2.5 and O3 for years 2015-2017, the

morbidity and impacted days are much greater in magnitude for O3. This is due to PM2.5 having

a much higher ratio of mortality to morbidity risk than O3 on a per unit basis (19-22).

Figure 4 displays these trends at the state level, showing how the contribution of PM2.5

and O3 across the country went from being essentially geographically equal in 2011 to heavily

weighted towards O3 by 2017. The most recent estimates show excess PM2.5 mortality impacts

confined primarily to the Northwest, parts of the Rocky Mountain West, and California. Most of

the rest of the country is meeting ATS-recommended levels, and therefore measurable excess

Page 11 of 86

Page 12: Trends in Excess Morbidity and Mortality …Trends in Excess Morbidity and Mortality Associated with Air Pollution above ATS-Recommended Standards, 2008 to 2017 Kevin R. Cromar1,2,

PM2.5-associated mortality has been reduced to zero. Those few places outside of the West still

seeing impacts from PM2.5 each attribute less than 50% of these outcomes to this pollutant.

From the summary in Figure 1 it appears that PM2.5 reductions were far less drastic in

California than across the nation as a whole. However, Figure 2 reveals that in those California

cities with the highest health impacts from PM2.5 (Los Angeles, Riverside, and Bakersfield),

mortality decreased substantially in the last decade. The lack of larger improvements in PM2.5

impacts in California may be explained by a combination of cities throughout the state that saw

marked improvements in air quality with others that saw an increase in air pollution related

health events over time. Consequentially, the vast majority of health impacts from particle

pollution exceeding ATS recommendations are now concentrated in the state of California. In

2010, mortalities from PM2.5 in California represented a full 43% of national PM2.5 impacts. This

grew to 78% in 2017 as PM2.5 impacts fell throughout the rest of the country. In contrast,

mortality impacts attributable O3 levels above ATS standards in California have stayed at

around 30% of national O3 impacts over the past decade. Meanwhile, O3 is now the primary

pollutant attributed to air pollution-related mortality impacts everywhere in the U.S., excluding

the most western states.

While the frequency and severity of wildland fires have been observed to increase in

recent years (23, 24), the emissions from these events are not responsible for the trends

observed in this study. The design values used in this study exclude exceptional events with

regulatory significance, including elevated pollution from wildland fires. Therefore while the

health impacts from wildland fires are an important public health issue that merits further

attention, they are not included in the health impacts estimated in this study.

The national health impacts attributable to O3 in this report have remained stubbornly

high in the last ten years despite two revisions of the NAAQS strengthening the standard for O3

in 2008 and 2015 (25, 26). Given the large number of locations that currently do not meet the

federal standard for O3, much less the more stringent recommendation from the ATS, it is clear

that local management of ambient O3 will be a pressing issue over the next several years. In

some locations the percentage increase in exposed populations has even grown faster than the

improvements in ambient O3 concentrations, leading to a net increase in air pollution-related

health impacts. While the total contribution of population growth on health estimates remains

small (see Figure E4 in the data supplement) it does represent the need for continued

improvements in air quality to even maintain the same level of health impacts.

A variety of federal and state policies have led to the improvement of air quality in

recent U.S. history. Establishment of NAAQS under the 1970 Clean Air Act amendments was the

turning point for air quality abatement measures in the U.S., establishing the framework of air

quality regulations still in use today. The 1970 amendments mandated the creation of State

Implementation Plans in order to meet federal pollutant standards, jumpstarting new research

in air quality and experimentation in a number of pollution reduction programs. These

regulations were revised and improved over the decades with advances in air quality science

and technology alongside consistent monitoring and assessment of programs. Another

breakthrough came with the 1990 Clean Air Act amendments, which encouraged the use of

market-based measures to meet NAAQS. The resulting multistate cap-and-trade programs used

to meet federal standards may be the greatest contributors to pollution reductions in U.S.

history (9). This included the Acid Rain Program (ARP), which set a cap on SO2 emissions from

Page 13 of 86

Page 14: Trends in Excess Morbidity and Mortality …Trends in Excess Morbidity and Mortality Associated with Air Pollution above ATS-Recommended Standards, 2008 to 2017 Kevin R. Cromar1,2,

electrical generating units in the U.S. and permitted the buying and selling of emission

allowances. Resulting health benefits in the first two decades of ARP implementation have been

estimated at $50 billion (27).

More recently, reductions in air pollution have come from a number of technology

conversions. One significant conversion has been the transition from coal-fired power to

natural gas energy production. With recent improvements in technology, natural gas now

outpaces coal in energy efficiency, lowering its cost and resulting in natural gas being the

primary electricity source in the U.S. (28, 29). These improvements in energy efficiency have led

to the retirement of a number of high-polluting power plants across the U.S. in the last decade.

Nearly all of these now-closed plants were powered by fossil fuels; specifically, from 2008 to

2017 national coal capacity decreased by 17%, in addition to the shutdown of a significant

number of older natural gas plants (30). These closures have also been a result of requirements

laid out by the EPA’s Mercury and Air Toxics Standards, with power plant retirements projected

to increase through 2020 (31).

Other technology conversions have occurred among mobile sources. The

implementation of Tier II standards in 2000, regulating tailpipe emissions in all passenger

vehicles and limiting fuel sulfur content, have led to dramatic improvements in air quality and

emission technology. Updates to these standards in the 2017 Tier III requirements are

anticipated to provide even greater reductions of a number of air pollutants while preventing

thousands of excess health impacts (32). Additionally, cleaner diesel fuel and trucks rules were

announced in 2000 (33) and implemented over the next decade; these include a 2004 rule

Page 14 of 86

Page 15: Trends in Excess Morbidity and Mortality …Trends in Excess Morbidity and Mortality Associated with Air Pollution above ATS-Recommended Standards, 2008 to 2017 Kevin R. Cromar1,2,

regulating heavy diesel equipment (34), a 2008 rule for diesel locomotives and marine vessels

(35), and the development of an international program to cleanup oceangoing vessels (36).

All these programs initially led to further reductions in particle pollution, supported by

data from ground monitors and satellite instruments. Long-term trends of particle pollution in

the U.S. show dramatic reductions since the 1980s (37, 38); other studies have shown dramatic

reductions in PM2.5 among major U.S. cities since the early 21st century (39, 40). These

reductions have proved most dramatic in key industrial regions in both the eastern and western

U.S., and include decreases in a number of PM2.5 precursors such as NO2 and SO2 (41-43).

Findings from the present study support these results, with PM2.5 reductions occurring from

2010-2014. However, these improvements leveled off in most recent years as federal rules

became more fully implemented and pollution concentrations targets were met.

Additional improvements in both PM2.5 and O3 emissions may be jeopardized by

changing regulatory priorities at the EPA. Under the Trump Administration, the EPA has

proposed to rollback or weaken several EPA policies that have a direct and indirect impact on

PM2.5 emissions (44). Of great significance is the recent repeal of the Clean Power Plan, which

would have implemented federal requirements on the best system of emission reductions of

carbon pollution from the energy generating sector. These measures are being replaced by the

Affordable Clean Energy Rule, which will significantly relax energy sector requirements (45).

Data from the EPA itself predicts that this repeal will result in hundreds of deaths and

thousands of morbidities that would have been prevented under the Clean Power Plan (46).

Additional efforts are being made by the current administration to freeze the Corporate

Average Fuel Economy standards and replace them with a Safer Affordable Fuel-Efficient

Page 15 of 86

Page 16: Trends in Excess Morbidity and Mortality …Trends in Excess Morbidity and Mortality Associated with Air Pollution above ATS-Recommended Standards, 2008 to 2017 Kevin R. Cromar1,2,

vehicular rule, weakening existing fuel efficiency standards (47, 48). Other moves to deregulate

air quality abatement include a delayed implementation of the 2015 ozone standard (49), a

potential revision of the Mercury Air Toxics rule (50), and several bills passed by Congress that

would weaken EPA’s authority to regulate air pollution, including O3 and PM2.5 (51, 52). With

such government actions in direct opposition to the efforts of existing air quality regulations, it

is not a given that past trends towards improving air quality will inevitably continue in the

future.

The present report is one of a number of studies assessing the health impacts of air

pollution in recent years. While these types of health impact assessments are continuously

performed for regions of the U.S. (53-56), a considerable number of these studies examine the

increasing health impacts from air pollution in China (57-61) as well as a number of other global

cities and regions (62-67). These studies assess a range of air quality scenarios based on

national and international air quality standards, source-specific impacts, and various

researcher-determined levels. Like the present study, these often rely on ground-based monitor

measurements, though as satellite data is becoming increasingly refined more and more studies

are relying on these measurements to estimate health impacts. Others utilize chemical

transport models based on atmospheric chemistry to make air pollution estimates used in

health assessments. A number of recent studies have also taken advantage of the EPA’s

BenMAP software and provided concentration-response functions to make local air pollution-

associated health impact estimates (53, 54, 67). However, the “Health of the Air” report is

uniquely useful in its county-specific diagnoses provided for all monitored locations across the

continental U.S. Since this report is updated each year, local environmental managers and

policymakers can use “Health of the Air” data to more accurately track local air quality

improvements and make decisions based on uniform, up-to-date estimates.

Finally, it is important to emphasize that the annual “Health of the Air” report only

presents health impacts from pollution levels above ATS-recommended levels. These numbers

do not reflect the health impacts that have been observed at levels below current ATS

recommendations. For instance, significant mortality impacts have been observed from PM2.5

and O3 concentrations well below the existing national standards (68-70), and long-term O3

mortality effects have been observed (71) but are not yet incorporated into legal standards or

the present report. As such, even those counties meeting current ATS recommendations can

expect to see further health benefits as they continue to make targeted efforts to improve local

air quality.

Conclusion

Improvements in health impacts attributable to ambient PM2.5 concentrations have been

observed across most regions of the United States over the last decade, while O3 impacts have

remained relatively unchanged. Even maintaining current pollution levels will ultimately result

in increasing numbers of mortalities and other health impacts as populations grow over time.

As state and city leaders determine which policy decisions are best suited for reducing air

pollution and keeping up with population growth, they can utilize “Health of the Air” data to

target areas and design policies to best address those pollutants causing the greatest health

impacts among their locales.

Figure 1. Trends in excess mortality attributable to air pollution greater than ATS

recommendations. ATS currently makes recommendations for ambient air quality: 12 µg/m3 for

annual PM2.5; 35 µg/m3 for short-term PM2.5; and 60 ppb for O3. Values are shown for the entire

United States as well as California. Each data point corresponds to pollution concentrations

from the three-year rolling design values.

recommendations for PM2.5, 2010 vs. 2017. Y-axis values follow a binary logarithmic scale. Cities

in 2017 marked (*) were not among the top 10 for 2010 and have mortality counts that are

higher in 2017 than previous years.

The percentages are mutually exclusive and sum to a total of 100% for each state. States

showing 0% contribution for a pollutant indicates that it is already meeting ATS-recommended

levels. Some states did not have validated design values for certain years which is indicated by

the gray color on the maps.

TABLE E2: Lung cancer incidence pooled risk used in this study.

Relative and pooled risk values were derived from a meta-analysis of studies examining the relationship of PM2.5 exposure and lung cancer incidence. Relative risk values are reported for a 10 µg/m3 change in PM2.5 exposure. Because an additional study was included this year, risk values below differ from those used in a previous “Health of the Air” report (E21).

TABLE E4: Health impacts and design values, by pollutant, for counties with at least one valid design value.

The 2017 design values for O3 (ppm) represent the 4th highest daily 8-hour maximum value averaged over three years from 2015-2017. The 2017 annual (or long-term) design value for PM2.5 (µg/m3) represents the annual concentration averaged over the same three years, while the daily (or short-term) PM2.5 design value represents the daily 98th percentile averaged over this same time. Counties with design values listed as "NA" indicate that valid monitoring data was not available for this three year period. The design value listed for each state represents that maximum design value among all listed counties for that state, while the health estimates listed for each state represent the sums of all listed counties.

Counties with valid monitoring concentrations below the current ATS recommendations have a "—" symbol listed under the health impacts. While further improvements in air quality in these counties is expected to result in additional public health benefits, this analysis only estimates health impacts associated with meeting ATS-recommended concentrations. Health estimates for counties without valid monitoring data is listed as "NA."

TABLE E5: Rank and air pollution-related deaths attributable to PM2.5 from 2010-2017 in U.S. cities.

Cities listed are based on US metropolitan statistical areas and metropolitan divisions. A rank of 1 indicates that this city suffers the highest number of excess air pollution-related health impacts associated with PM2.5. Cities that met the ATS recommendation for PM2.5 were not ranked, as indicated by a dash. It is possible that cities with no deaths in a given year still have a ranking due to rounding methods. NA indicates no data was available for this city in the given year.

TABLE E6: Rank and air pollution-related deaths attributable to O3 from 2010-2017 in U.S. cities.

Cities listed are based on US metropolitan statistical areas and metropolitan divisions. A rank of 1 indicates that this city suffers the highest number of excess air pollution-related health impacts associated with O3. Cities that met the ATS recommendation for O3 were not ranked, as indicated by a dash. It is possible that cities with no deaths in a given year still have a ranking due to rounding methods. NA indicates no data was available for this city in the given year.

Figure E1. Trends in design values for short-term PM2.5 in monitored counties across “Health of the Air”

study years. Colors are shown for areas already meeting ATS-recommended levels and areas that meet

NAAQS levels but not ATS-recommended levels, as well as two additional colors for areas not meeting NAAQS

levels.

Figure E2. Trends in design values for long-term PM2.5 in monitored counties across “Health of the Air” study

years. Colors are shown for areas already meeting ATS-recommended levels and areas that meet NAAQS

levels but not ATS-recommended levels, as well as two additional colors for areas not meeting NAAQS levels.

Figure E3. Trends in design values for O3 in monitored counties across “Health of the Air” study years. Colors

are shown for areas already meeting ATS-recommended levels and areas that meet NAAQS levels but not ATS-

recommended levels, as well as two additional colors for areas not meeting NAAQS levels.

Figure E4: National annual air pollution-related excess deaths attributable to O3 above ATS recommended

standards, 2010-2017. The trends in excess mortality attributable to O3 concentrations greater than

recommended by the ATS are shown with and without accounting for changes in population that occurred

over the same time period.
