Strong increase in mortality attributable to ozone pollution under a climate change and demographic scenario Open
Long-term exposure to ambient ozone (O3) is associated with excess respiratory mortality. Pollution emissions, demographic, and climate changes are expected to drive future ozone-related mortality. Here, we assess global mortality attribut…
