• Present and future global PM2.5 and O3-related premature mortality is estimated.
• The present day global premature mortality is estimated to be 5.4 million.
• Bias correction increases global PM2.5-related premature mortality to 7.7 million.
• Emission reductions alone decreases premature mortality by up to 57% in 2050.
• Aging population increases premature mortality by up to a factor of 2.
