"Note: The indicator reports emissions of 6 key air pollutants from human activities only. It does not include emissions from natural sources such as forest fires and from vegetation. Emissions from black carbon, a component of PM2.5, are also not included. The percentages have been rounded off and their sum may not add up to 100.",,,,,,,,,
