Analysis
Kyrgyzstan recorded 412,882 tonnes for emissions of air pollutants in 2022.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 0.5% on the previous year and down 45.1% over ten years.
Over the whole period, emissions of air pollutants in Kyrgyzstan peaked at 791,306 tonnes in 2016 and was at its lowest, 13,365 tonnes, in 1750.
That places Kyrgyzstan 92nd 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.
