The Mortality and Welfare Costs from Exposure to Environmental Risks database provides data on health impacts and welfare costs from exposure to environmentally-related risks. This dataset integrates data on mortality and Disability-Adjusted Life Years (DALYs) from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 (GBD 2019), and quantifies welfare costs using a methodology adapted from the OECD (2017), The Rising Cost of Ambient Air Pollution thus far in the 21st Century: Results from the BRIICS and the OECD Countries. The database covers a wide range of environmental risks, including air pollution, climate-related threats, exposure to hazardous substances such as lead and radon, unsafe water and sanitation, environment-related occupational risks, and environment-related behavioral risks. The data are disaggregated by gender and age groups, providing a granular view of how these risks impact dimensions of the population.
