Adjusted savings: carbon dioxide damage > % of GNI	0.17 % of GNI		[163rd of 179]
View time series
CO2 emissions > kg per 2000 PPP $ of GDP	0.2 kg/PPP$		[124th of 170]
DEFINITION: Carbon dioxide emissions are those stemming from the burning of fossil fuels and the manufacture of cement. They include carbon dioxide produced during consumption of solid, liquid, and gas fuels and gas flaring.		View time series
SOURCE: World Development Indicators database
CO2 emissions > kt	1,864.47 kt		[140th of 195]
DEFINITION: Carbon dioxide emissions are those stemming from the burning of fossil fuels and the manufacture of cement. They include carbon dioxide produced during consumption of solid, liquid, and gas fuels and gas flaring.		View time series

Organic water pollutant (BOD) emissions > kg per day	5,039.83 kg/day		[31st of 115]
DEFINITION: Emissions of organic water pollutants are measured by biochemical oxygen demand, which refers to the amount of oxygen that bacteria in water will consume in breaking down waste. This is a standard water-treatment test for the presence of organic pollutants.		View time series
Organic water pollutant (BOD) emissions > kg per day per worker	0.13 kg per day per worker		[30th of 115]
DEFINITION: Emissions per worker are total emissions of organic water pollutants divided by the number of industrial workers. Organic water pollutants are measured by biochemical oxygen demand, which refers to the amount of oxygen that bacteria in water will consume in breaking down waste. This is a standard water-treatment test for the presence of organic pollutants.		View time series

PM10, country level > micrograms per cubic meter	46.21 mcg/m³		[73rd of 185]
DEFINITION: Particulate matter concentrations refer to fine suspended particulates less than 10 microns in diameter (PM10) that are capable of penetrating deep into the respiratory tract and causing significant health damage. Data for countries and aggregates for regions and income groups are urban-population weighted PM10 levels in residential areas of cities with more than 100,000 residents. The estimates represent the average annual exposure level of the average urban resident to outdoor particulate matter. The state of a countrys technology and pollution controls is an important determinant of particulate matter concentrations.		View time series

Pollution > Carbon dioxide 1999	414		[136th of 199]
DEFINITION: 1999 total CO2 emissions from fossil-fuel burning, cement production, and gas flaring. Emissions are expressed in thousand metric tons of carbon (not CO2).

Water pollution, chemical industry > % of total BOD emissions	1.07 %		[33rd of 114]
DEFINITION: Industry shares of emissions of organic water pollutants refer to emissions from manufacturing activities as defined by two-digit divisions of the International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC), revision 2: chemicals (35). Emissions of organic water pollutants are measured by biochemical oxygen demand, which refers to the amount of oxygen that bacteria in water will consume in breaking down waste. This is a standard water-treatment test for the presence of organic pollutants.		View time series
