Bis 2023 führte der Übergang zu Fahrzeugen mit neuer Energie in China zu einer Reduzierung der Partikel mit einem Durchmesser von 2,5 µm oder weniger (8,97 µg m−3) um 23,80 % und des Kohlenmonoxids um 30,67 % (0,26 mg m−3), was zur Vermeidung von etwa 262.000 nichtunfallbedingten Todesfällen und 75.000 Todesfällen aller Ursachen führte.

Not at all surprising. Shame here in the US people are so hesitant to move towards electric vehicles.
The „, respectively“ is an important part of the original sentence. The changes didn’t cause new accidental deaths, as the numbers could suggest.
They studied how many non-accidental deaths were reduced by reducing particles, and how many all-cause deaths were reduced by lowering carbon monoxide levels.
And there are people that still argue that electric vehicles emit more particulate matter than IC vehicles because of they’re heavier and only tires and brakes matter…
Don’t forget the massive amount of coal fired power china has. In fact they burn more coal than the rest of the world combined
