"Global emissions of local air pollutants have probably passed their peak.
The chart shows estimates of global emissions of pollutants such as sulphur
dioxide (which causes acid rain), nitrogen oxides, and black and organic
carbon.
These pollutants are harmful to human health and can also damage ecosystems.
It looks like emissions have peaked for almost all of these pollutants. Global
air pollution is now falling, and we can save many lives by accelerating this
decline.
The exception is ammonia, which is mainly produced by agriculture. Its
emissions are still rising."
