Abstract The impact of air pollution on premature mortality in Europe and the
United States (U.S.) in 2010 is modelled by a multi-model ensemble of regional
models in the framework of the third phase of the Air Quality Model Evaluation
International Initiative (AQMEII3). Introducing 20% emission reductions both globally and regionally in Europe, North America and East Asia were performed in order
