Emissions of SO2 - Total (National Reports, UNFCCC)

Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR

Sulfur dioxide is an air pollutant produced when fossil fuels containing sulfur are burned.

Description

It contributes to acid rain and can damage human health, particularly that of the young and the elderly. National figures only include data from UNFCCC Greenhouse Gas Inventory (GHG) Annex I Parties.

These inventory data are provided in the national communications under the Convention by Annex I and non-Annex I Parties, and in addition Annex I Parties submit annual national greenhouse gas inventories. We use the category "National Total" from the GHG Database; this category does not include emissions resulting from fuel sold to ships or aircraft engaged in international transport (international bunker fuel emissions).

Furthermore, the "National Total" does not include emissions from biomass burning or emissions or removals from the land-use change and forestry sector.
