Notes

  1. The calculations were based on the Rosstat tables on the use of goods and services at basic prices in 2000 and 2015 [13]. The expanded approach means that the expenditures on education, healthcare, and cultures are transferred from intermediate and end consumption into accumulation.

  2. Life expectancy at birth is an indicator of how many years on average a person from a generation born in a given year is expected to live, provided that throughout the life of this generation the mortality rate at each age remains the same as in the year for which the indicator is calculated.

  3. Particles of this diameter are dangerous in that they can easily penetrate biological barriers and can accumulate in the body and, therefore, pose the greatest threat to health. According to WHO standards, the average annual level of PM2.5 should be no more than 10 μg/m3 (1 μg = 0.000001 g).
