How this figure is calculated
Pm exposure 1990 2017 divided by Land area (sq. km), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Pm exposure 1990 2017 ÷ Land area (sq. km)
Computed from
- Pm exposure 1990 2017 Our World in Data
- Land area FAOSTAT, Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
