Table 1 Data regarding the study areas (column 1), population-weighted annual average concentrations of local emissions of PM2.5 from RWC in the age group 30+ (column 2), the number of inhabitants in the age group 30 + in each study area (column 3), and the health impacts calculated in AirQ+ (columns 4 − 7)
From: Health impacts of PM2.5 originating from residential wood combustion in four nordic cities
