View time series
Adjusted savings: net forest depletion > % of GNI	0.01 % of GNI		[51st of 57]
DEFINITION: Net forest depletion is calculated as the product of unit resource rents and the excess of roundwood harvest over natural growth.		View time series

CO2 emissions > kg per 2000 PPP $ of GDP	0.38 kg/PPP$		[71st 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

PM10, country level > micrograms per cubic meter	67.02 mcg/m³		[44th 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 country’s technology and pollution controls is an important determinant of particulate matter concentrations.		View time series
Pollution > Carbon dioxide 1999	455		[134th 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).
