Habitat “suitability” is the likelihood that a species, such as bacteria, can live in an environment in a given location based on factors it needs to survive and thrive.

Bolded indicators in the text represent data from the 2022 global Lancet Countdown report. The indicator data can be found in Table 1. For details about the indicators and methodology, see the 2022 global Lancet Countdown report and Appendix.

Air pollution from fossil fuel combustion includes particulate matter less than 2.5 (PM_2.5) or 10 (PM₁₀) microns, nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), nitric oxide (NO), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), carbon monoxide (CO), traffic-related air pollution, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), and ground-level ozone (formed through chemical reactions from precursors from fossil fuel burning and other sources that include nitrogen oxides [NOx] and volatile organic compounds [VOCs] in the presence of sunlight).

Methane gas is also referred to as natural gas.
