Mortality rate attributed to household and ambient air pollution, age-standardized, male (per 100,000 male population)

This indicator highlights the annual mortality consequences of both household and ambient air pollution, specifically among the male population, expressed per 100,000 men and adjusted for age. It encompasses deaths linked to a range of serious health conditions, including acute respiratory infections across all ages, and chronic diseases like cerebrovascular incidents, ischaemic heart diseases, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and lung cancer, all estimated for individuals aged 25 and older. By focusing on this demographic, the measure underscores the heightened vulnerability of men to pollution-related health risks, emphasizing the need for targeted public health interventions and cleaner air initiatives to reduce this avoidable mortality and improve overall male health outcomes.
