Local attributable burden disease to PM2.5 ambient air pollution in Medellín, Colombia, 2010–2016 [version 1; peer review: 2 approved]

Background: Exposure to 2.5-micron diameter air pollutants (PM2.5) has been associated with an increased risk of illness and death worldwide; however, in Latin American health impacts assessment of this risk factor is scarce. Medellín is one of the most polluted cities in the region, with a populati...
