Utilizing simulated results based on an integrated meteorology and air quality modeling system, we estimate the number of avoided premature death due to lowered PM2.5 concentrations during COVID-19 lockdown over the YRD region. We calculate the premature mortality due to above-mentioned causes based on the health impact function (Eq. 1) over the YRD region during pre-lockdown, Level I, and Level II period of 2017-2020 (Fig. 4) . In this study, we attempt to quantify the health impacts associated PM2.5 improvement due to reduced human and industrial activities during COVID-19 lockdown in the Yangtze River Delta region, a region with heavy air pollution during the past years.	./cache/cord-264427-frrq4h39.txt	./txt/cord-264427-frrq4h39.txt
