It says premature deaths. I'm not sure it makes no sense at all, but it is an unfortunate thing to focus on. DALYs seem better, and are discussed throughout the article (which I've only skimmed so far), eg:
> The GBD study also estimates that disease caused by all forms of pollution was responsible for 268 million DALYs—254 million years of life lost and 14 million years lived with disability. This information is available by country and region and is presented in the appendix.
