Analysis
The most recent figure for emissions of air pollutants in Haiti is 1.08 million tonnes, measured in 2022. That is the highest value across all 273 years on record.
That represents a change of up 0.6% on the previous year and up 6.9% over ten years.
Over the whole period, emissions of air pollutants in Haiti peaked at 1.08 million tonnes in 2022 and was at its lowest, 20,921 tonnes, in 1750.
That places Haiti 53rd out of 220 countries with data for 2022, putting it in the top quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
