Ghana - Particulate emission damage

Adjusted savings: particulate emission damage (current US$)

The latest value for Adjusted savings: particulate emission damage (current US$) in Ghana was 674,363,000 as of 2019. Over the past 29 years, the value for this indicator has fluctuated between 785,260,400 in 2013 and 113,950,800 in 2000.

Definition: Particulate emissions damage is the damage due to exposure of a country's population to ambient concentrations of particulates measuring less than 2.5 microns in diameter (PM2.5), ambient ozone pollution, and indoor concentrations of PM2.5 in households cooking with solid fuels. Damages are calculated as foregone labor income due to premature death. Estimates of health impacts from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2016. Data for other years have been extrapolated from trends in mortality rates.
