Pollution Emissions and Life Expectancy in the Global Scenario

Particulate matter (PM) is made of fine dust particles and is considered a pollutant. PM2.5 refers to particulate matter that have a size of 25000 microns in an inch. Exposure to PM2.5 can cause serious respiratory illnesses such as asthma, and even worse, lung cancer.

According to this scientific article (https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs.estlett.8b00360), ambient PM2.5 reduces the life expectancy. Hence, this article aims to investigate the global PM2.5 emissions and its relationship with the life expectancy--whether the existing data supports the claim of the study. The aim of this article is also to show other relevant information derived from the datasets, specifically by status of the country (developed and developing).

The PM2.5 Global Air Pollution (2010-2017) dataset was obtained from Kaggle (uploaded by Karl Weinmeister). The life expectancy data was obtained from Kaggle (WHO).
