Lithuania's health and environment scorecard summary:

• Extent of the problem and health impacts: Air pollution causes deaths from stroke and ischemic heart disease, with PM2.5 levels at 12 μg/m³ (WHO guideline: 5 μg/m³). WASH metrics show high percentages of the population without safe water and sanitation, leading to deaths from diarrhoea. Climate change risks include increased heat deaths for the elderly under high-emission scenarios. Chemicals and radiation lead to deaths from poisonings, skin cancers, and occupational risks, with some no-data entries. Occupational health issues include deaths and injuries from work-related risks.

• Policy status and compliance: Lithuania has policies on household energy, WASH, household air pollution, and national plans for chemicals (including mercury convention) and climate change. For chemicals and radiation, IHR capacity scores are given, with Lithuania's performance mixed relative to regional averages.

• Key data and rankings: Air pollution shows compliance gaps; WASH has high deficits; climate change highlights vulnerability; chemicals and radiation indicate IHR capacity issues; occupational health shows ratifications of key conventions and programs. Rankings place Lithuania 45th and 21st out of 50 in European regions for chemical and radiation emergencies, respectively.

This summary covers the analysis of environmental and health metrics across the scorecard categories for Lithuania.
