Analysis
Croatia recorded 213,735 tonnes for emissions of air pollutants in 2022.
Compared with earlier readings it is down 3.4% on the previous year and down 25.5% over ten years.
Over the whole period, emissions of air pollutants in Croatia peaked at 662,399 tonnes in 1977 and was at its lowest, 22,614 tonnes, in 1750.
That places Croatia 120th out of 220 countries with data for 2022, putting it in the middle of the range.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
