  Chart for 2001-2018 Carbon Monoxide (CO) Emissions

Legend for Carbon Monoxide (CO) Emissions Chart

Relative Significance

Between 2001 and 2018, CO emissions decreased by 24% which were mainly caused by the decline in emissions from the road transport sector.  Road transport and navigation sectors were two major sources of CO emissions, accounting for 50% and 27% of the total CO emissions in 2018, respectively. 

During the same period, the gap between the CO concentration levels measured at the EPD's roadside and ambient air quality monitoring stations have narrowed, indicating that vehicular CO emissions have been reduced.

Huge carbon monoxide plume from Amazon rainforest fires

The devastating effect of the Amazon forest fires on our planet have been revealed in a NASA time series.

The images, created using data from NASA's Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) instrument aboard the Aqua satellite, show a giant carbon monoxide plume gathering over Brazil.
