Health impacts from outdoor concentrations of PM2.5 greater than ATS recommendations (8 µg/m3 for long-term PM2.5; 25 µg/m3 for short-term PM2.5).

Areas already meeting these recommended levels are expected to benefit from further improvements in air quality but these additional health benefits are not included in this analysis.
