    BackgroundIt is estimated that environmental risk factors (ERF) were responsible for nine million deaths worldwide in 2019.ObjectiveUsing data from the Global Burden of Disease study, indicators of health loss associated with exposure to ERF in Mexico were analyzed.Material And MethodsAbsolute numbers and population percentages of deaths and disability-adjusted life years (DALY) lost attributed to selected ERFs were analyzed at the national and state level and by sex, as well as age-standardized trends from 1990 to 2021.ResultsIn 2021, ambient particulate matter pollution showed the highest mortality and DALYs lost attributed to selected ERFs (42.2 and 38.1% respectively), followed by lead exposure (20.6 and 13.4%) and low temperature (19.8 and 12.3%). Both indicators have decreased for all selected ERAs by different magnitudes between 1991 and 2021, except for high temperature.ConclusionsDespite decreases in the last 32 years, outdoor environment particulate matter showed the highest mortality and DALYs lost, followed by lead exposure. It is essential to strengthen air quality and lead exposure policies in Mexico.Copyright: © 2023 Permanyer.
