This figure appears in chapter 3 of the The Impacts of Climate Change on Human Health in the United States: A Scientific Assessment report.

Projected change in ozone-related premature deaths from 2000 to 2030 by U.S. region and based on CESM/RCP8.5. Each year (2000 and 2030) is represented by 11 years of modeled data. Ozone-related premature deaths were calculated using the risk coefficient from Bell et al. (2004).a02f25a1-29c1-4564-9b41-7d974e8ce6b5 Boxes indicate 25th, 50th, and 75th percentile change over 11-year sample periods, and vertical lines extend to 1.5 times the interquartile range. U.S. regions follow geopolitical boundaries shown in Figure 3.2. (Figure source: Fann et al. 2015)54a66159-1675-43bb-b5d3-a9b7f283e4de
