Disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) attributable to ambient air pollution for the global population under 15 years old. The dataset is published by the World Health Organization (WHO) via the Global Health Observatory (GHO). Its specific temporal and geographic coverage requires verification after download.
Use Cases
- Estimating the health impact of air pollution on children for policy prioritization (inferred from domain, verify after download)
- Modeling trends in environmental disease burden over time (inferred from domain, verify after download)
- Comparing pollution-attributable DALYs across different regions or demographics (inferred from domain, verify after download)

- Published on the WHO Global Health Observatory (GHO) platform
Limitations
- Metadata is minimal; actual content requires verification after download
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
