14 )))|(% style="width:730px" %)One study shows that  a 1μg/m3 increase in PM2.5 concentration causes a 0.8% reduction in real GDP that same year. Ninety-five per cent of this impact is due to reductions in output per worker, which can occur through greater absenteeism at work or reduced labour productivity (Dechezleprêtre et al. 2019).
