>The GBD study estimated that South Africa had 1800 deaths in 2012 attributable to fine PM. This number was based on global satellite and modelling views on the severity of air pollution in the country.

This makes it seem like they only used satellite data and a model to guesstimate this number? Very dubious without medical records to back this up.
