Detailed explanation-1: -Top 10 most polluting countries 2022 The three countries with the highest CO2 emissions are: China with 9.9 billion tonnes of CO2 emissions, largely due to the export of consumer goods and its heavy reliance on coal; The United States with 4.4 billion tonnes of CO2 emitted; India with 2.3 billion tonnes of CO2 emitted.
Detailed explanation-2: -Major contributors to bad air quality include auto emissions due to increasing urban traffic congestion, fossil fuel powered heavy industry, construction, and the burning of agricultural land post harvests. The study found that nearly 92% of pollution-related deaths occur in low and middle-income countries.
Detailed explanation-3: -Carbon Monoxide (CO) Most of the carbon monoxide pollution comes from burning fossil fuels in vehicles, factories, and power plants, but another major source is from burning wood or crop waste. Carbon monoxide is released from volcanoes and forest fires as well.
Detailed explanation-4: -China is rich in fossil fuel resources and doesn’t resist exploiting them even though it also invests in green energy sources (mainly solar). As a result, large amounts o greenhouse gases with particulate matter reach the atmosphere. Another reason is China’s role in global trade.
