World Vitals / Emissions and exposure
Track air pollutant emissions, particulate exposure, and related health burden indicators.
This topic should combine emissions inventories, exposure estimates, and health burden data without mixing them into a single ambiguous risk score.
The primary charts now come from normalized database observations. Snapshot cards remain useful for latest values, but time series and paired relationships get chart types that match the question.
Database charts
These charts use normalized observations from the World Vitals database. Time-series charts show change; scatter plots show paired relationships where the data actually supports comparison.

Mean annual PM2.5 exposure is the cleanest global baseline for air-pollution pressure.

Metric snapshots
Snapshot and live-rate cards are kept separate from historical charts so they do not pretend to show a trend.
