GHG emissions from the top 10 countries with the highest emissions accounted for almost two thirds of the global total. Since 2006, China has been emitting more CO 2 than any other country. [8] [9] [10] However, the main disadvantage of measuring total national emissions is that it does not take population size into account.
The following list of countries by air pollution sorts the countries of the world according to their average measured concentration of particulate matter in micrograms per cubic meter (μg/m 3). The World Health Organization's recommended limit is 5 micrograms per cubic meter, although there are also various national guideline values, which are ...
Wealth allows countries to make investments in the infrastructure required to provide clean drinking water, safely manage waste, and rapidly expand renewable energy. But wealth also leads to higher material consumption and its associated environmental impacts, such as higher rates of waste generation, GHG emissions, and ecosystem degradation.

The January 2024 version of the WHO database contains results of ambient (outdoor) air pollution monitoring from almost 5,390 towns and cities in 63 countries. Air quality in the database is represented by the annual mean concentration of particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5, i.e. particles smaller than 10 or 2.5 micrometers, respectively). [1 ...
Ranking second (the U.S. ranked No. 1) out of 195 countries on the Global Health Index, and 27th out of 163 countries on the Global Peace Index, Australia earned the study's title as the best ...
