Short summary

Here we use a fine-resolution (36 km) self-consistent 21-year air quality simulation from 1990 to 2010, a health impact function, and annual county-level population and baseline mortality rate estimates to estimate annual mortality burdens from PM_2.5 and O₃ in the US, and also the contributions to the trends. We found that the PM_2.5-related mortality burden has steadily decreased by 53 %, while the O₃-related mortality burden has increased by 13 %, with larger inter-annual variabilities.
