Excel | CSV | Table Version

Index: 1990 = 1.0

Key: PM-10 = airborne particulates of less than 10 microns; PM-2.5 = airborne particulates of less than 2.5 microns; U = unavailable.

Notes: The indexes are calculated using data on emissions from highway vehicles only. Particulate matters include PM without condensibles. The 2003 data are revised except carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, surfur dioxide, and ammonia. The 2004 data are revised except nitrogen oxide, sufur dioxide, and ammonia. The 2005 data are revised except carbon monoxide, surfur dioxide, and ammonia. The 2006 data are revised except carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, and ammonia. The 2007 data are revised except carbon monoxide, surfur dioxide, and ammonia.
