The deaths breakdown by region is interesting:

Africa: 1.8M

South America: 149k

North America: 179k

Australia: 4k

Europe: 434k

Asia: 6.3M

I guess to keep it positive, I'd say "Great job, Australia"!

Asia has about 4.8B population, Australia has 26M. On a per capita basis Australia has about 1x% more deaths

On a per capita basis, Australia has world class epidemiology, medical record keeping, and "no sparrow falls" cause of death certification . . .

This might be a case of a shortfall in record keeping and open reporting.

Where does air pollution come from?
