Notes: SOMO35 is the annual sum of daily maximum running 8-h average concentrations over 35 ppb (or 70 µg/m³).

Population (POP) for every country and every aggregation is rounded to the nearest thousand.

The first group of countries correspond to the EU-27 and they are in alphabetical order. The rest are presented underneath, starting with Albania.

Deaths are rounded for every country to the nearest hundred if the number is above 1,000 and to the nearest ten if the number is below 1,000.

Total deaths are rounded (once the unrounded national totals have been added) to the nearest thousand for EU-27, EEA-32 and all countries.
