This research aims to reveal the premature deaths caused by long-term exposure to PM_2.5 in 2018 in Turkey utilizing the AirQ+ program developed by the World Health Organization. Calculation of yearly average PM_2.5 concentration in provinces, acreage of provinces, and the mortality rate of the at-risk population was the data required for the operation of the AirQ+ program. With the help of the AirQ+ program, the results revealed that a total of 44,617 people (95% CI 29.882–57.709) died prematurely due to sustained exposure to PM_2.5 in Turkey in 2018. The highest estimated mortality proportion attributable to PM_2.5 pollution was in the provinces of Igdir and Kahramanmaras. The highest estimated number of mortality cases per 100,000 population attributable to PM_2.5 pollution was in the provinces of Manisa and Afyonkarahisar. This research points out that reaching the PM_2.5 limits specified by the WHO could have prevented 44,617 premature deaths in the year 2018 in Turkey.

本研究旨在利用世界卫生组织开发的 AirQ+ 计划，揭示 2018 年土耳其因长期暴露于 PM _2.5而导致的过早死亡。计算各省年平均 PM _2.5浓度、省份面积和高危人群死亡率是 AirQ+ 计划运行所需的数据。随着AIRQ +程序的帮助，结果显示，共有44617人（95％CI 29.882-57.709）过早地死于持续暴露于PM _2.5在2018年土耳其的最高估计死亡比例归因于PM _2.5污染发生在伊格迪尔省和卡赫拉曼马拉斯省。可归因于 PM _2.5污染的每 100,000 人中死亡率最高的估计数发生在马尼萨省和阿菲永卡拉希萨尔省。该研究指出，达到世界卫生组织规定的 PM _2.5限值本可以在 2018 年防止土耳其 44,617 人过早死亡。
