Data on mortality are compiled by the Central Statistics Office and published in the annual and quarterly reports on vital statistics. Deaths are classified by principal medical cause of death, for example, diseases of the respiratory system. It is not possible to identify the number of deaths due to poor air quality from exhaust emissions.
