How this figure is calculated
Annual PM2.5 emissions from wildfires divided by Population, total, matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Annual PM2.5 emissions from wildfires ÷ Population, total
Computed from
- Annual pm25 emissions from wildfires Our World in Data
- Population, total World Population Prospects, United Nations (UN)
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
