China’s Sulfur Dioxide Emissions Drop, India’s Grow Over Last Decade

11.13.2017
A new study by researchers at NASA and the University of Maryland indicates that India may be the world’s top sulfur dioxide emitter.
The top row of images show each region in 2005, which had abundant NOx in urban areas where human emissions are high, leading to systems where ozone formation was controlled by VOC amounts. As pollution controls were put into place on NOx emissions, by 2015, the systems in Europe, the United States, and East Asian urban areas became limited by NOx, meaning that further controls on NOx would help reduce ozone formation. With the industrial growth of the last decade, the results in China outside t
