  2. List of most-polluted cities by particulate matter concentration

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_most-polluted...

    This list contains the top 500 cities by PM2.5 annual mean concentration measurement as documented by the World Health Organization covering the period from 2008 to 2017. The 2018 version of the WHO database contains results of ambient (outdoor) air pollution monitoring from almost 2700 towns and cities in 91 countries.

  3. Particulate pollution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particulate_pollution

    Particulate pollution is observed around the globe in varying sizes and compositions and is the focus of many epidemiological studies. Particulate matter (PM) is generally classified into two main size categories: PM 10 and PM 2.5. PM 10, also known as coarse particulate matter, consists of particles 10 micrometers (μm) and smaller, while PM 2 ...

  4. Particulates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Particulates

    Similarly, fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) tends to penetrate into the gas exchange regions of the lung (alveoli), and very small particles (ultrafine particulate matter PM 0.1) may pass through the lungs to affect other organs. Penetration of particles is not wholly dependent on their size; shape and chemical composition also play a part.

  5. Air quality index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_quality_index

    An air quality index (AQI) is an indicator developed by government agencies [1] to communicate to the public how polluted the air currently is or how polluted it is forecast to become. [2][3] As air pollution levels rise, so does the AQI, along with the associated public health risk. Children, the elderly and individuals with respiratory or ...

  6. List of least-polluted cities by particulate matter concentration

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_least-polluted...

    Below is a list of 526 cities sorted by their annual mean concentration of PM2.5 (μg/m 3) in 2022. [1] [2] By default the least polluted cities which have fewest particulates in the air come first.

  7. Greenhouse gas emissions by the United States - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_gas_emissions...

    The United States produced 5.2 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 2020, [5] the second largest in the world after greenhouse gas emissions by China and among the countries with the highest greenhouse gas emissions per person. In 2019 China is estimated to have emitted 27% of world GHG, followed by ...

  8. Metropolitan statistical area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metropolitan_statistical_area

    The statistical criteria for a standard metropolitan area were defined in 1949 and redefined as a metropolitan statistical area in 1983. [3] Due to suburbanization, the typical metropolitan area is polycentric rather than being centered around a large historic core city such as New York City or Chicago. [4]

  9. Greenhouse and icehouse Earth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_and_icehouse_Earth

    An illustration of ice age Earth at its glacial maximum. A "greenhouse Earth" is a period during which no continental glaciers exist anywhere on the planet. [6] Additionally, the levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases (such as water vapor and methane) are high, and sea surface temperatures (SSTs) range from 28 °C (82.4 °F) in the tropics to 0 °C (32 °F) in the polar regions.
