Abstract
Aims: The study is to evaluate burden of diseases related to mortality due to PM 2.5 exposure in Hanoi in 2019. Methods: We used the health impact assessment approach with the input data including annual mean concentration of PM 2.5 , mortality collected from A6 death registers, and the population data in 2019. Outcomes: In Hanoi, comparing to the QCVN 05:2015 (5 µg/m 3 ), the number of premature deaths attributed to PM 2.5 exposure was 2,633 cases (32.70 cases per 100,000). Years of life lost (YLL) and loss of life expectancy (LLE) due to PM 2.5 exposure were 73,353 and 833 years, respectively. When comparing to the WHO Air Quality guideline (5 µg/m 3 ), the number of attributable deaths was 4,711 (58.50 cases per 100.000). In this case, Years of life lost (YLL) and loss of life expectancy (LLE) due to PM 2.5 exposure were 139,608 and 1.617 years. Conclusion: It is needed to establish and implement a mechanism to share open air quality data from monitoring stations, together with improve the quality of health data for future research. Key words: PM 2.5 , air pollution, mortality
