When the Paris Agreement came into effect in November, the global focus on climate change policies was decried as a vital step towards reducing the consumption of fossil fuels. In light of recent uncertainty as to the involvement of the United States in the Paris Agreement, and growing health concerns over pollution in UK cities, new research has highlighted the true cost of these polluted environments.


A map created by The Eco Experts has revealed the "most toxic countries in the world." The data was compiled and cross-referenced to take into account a number of factors including the number of deaths caused by air pollution and overall carbon dioxide emissions. The results are intended to be an indication of the dangers to the environment and population of the 135 countries involved in the study.

The maps show that Middle-Eastern oil-rich countries dominate the top ten spaces on the list. Saudi Arabia is recorded as being the most toxic, with the highest recorded air pollution on the list. The UK ranks 81st for toxicity, behind countries such as Germany and the United States, however, it is listed as having the 37th highest carbon dioxide emissions.

The 20 most toxic countries:

1. Saudi Arabia
2. Kuwait
3. Qatar
4. Bahrain
5. United Arab Emirates
6. Oman
7. Turkmenistan
8. Libya
9. Kazakhstan
10. Trinidad and Tobago
11. Islamic Rep of Iran
12. Luxembourg
13. Bulgaria
14. Bosnia and Herzegovenia
15. Mongolia
16. Korea
17. FYR of Macedonia
18. Singapore
19. Iraq
20. China

This data coincides with London’s pollution levels reaching a five-year high last month, and London boroughs such as Camden and Westminster reaching ten out of ten on the air pollution index.

John Whitling of The Eco Experts said that the map is a way of "naming and shaming the worst offenders around the world" and highlighting the risks associated with high levels of pollution.

Lies!

[dude2014]

Really? Our levels of pollution is legendary. We may be too small a country to be on some of the indices. In fact TnT and pollution is ring and finger .................

[shake d livin wake d dead]

did not need an expert to deduce that.....one look and smell from the Beetham and daz it deh

[Miktay]

Since when iz carbon dioxide toxic?

[dude2014]

Well try buying a tank and breathe as much as you can.
After all, it is a greenhouse gas .........

[K74T]

Sangre Grande and environs again.

[The Paleontologist]

Wow. Didnt expect canada to be more toxic than india

[shake d livin wake d dead]

Sangre Grande and environs again.

facepalm

Same with pure oxygen. Try breathing a tank of that in.

Doesn't mean it's toxic.

I dont know what they teaching in school and maybe you can explain why countries are being asked to reduce carbon emmission, discussing carbon sequestration.

I am no scientist but carbon behaves very differently in the atmosphere as opposed to oxygen, nitrogen, and other gases.

The issue is whether our nation is toxic and a polluter of the atmosphere.

I dont want to get started on methane, least I be advised to breathe some .............

See below. Its the Calvin cycle. Amongst other things it describes the metabolic pathways of how plants grow and thrive. It has been accepted science since at least 1950.

Carbon Dioxide...iz central to photosynthesis...and the basis of a majority life on planet earth. Now we are being told that it iz toxic?

Give me a break.

Did you read the part about carbon dioxide emission, carbon sequestration, its' behaviour in the atmosphere above the earth crust?

Carbon is necessary for life as we are carbon beings and is a macro element in the life cycle of plants.
It is not often considered, but the farmers who grow in greenhouses and corn farmers can tell you about the effect of low carbon in their sheds and over the corn fields. I am not talking about that or I can write a thesis on its' uses and the advances in biological products for plants which contains organic carbon, and the increases in yield. It is not mad science and has actually been demonstrated even before 1950.

The issue is whether our nation is toxic and a polluter of the atmosphere and the relation of carbon dioxide therein in such a discussion. When did this Calvin fellow lived? Dont use photosynthesis to mount a discussion on carbon dioxide and its' effect as a toxic gas.

And yes you can have a break .............
