How this figure is calculated

Sulphur dioxide and coal divided by GDP (current US$), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.

Sulphur dioxide and coal ÷ GDP (current US$)

Computed from

Coal consumption and sulphur dioxide emissions Hoesly et al. (2024) - Community Emissions Data System (CEDS) – with major processing by Our World in Data
GDP Country official statistics, National Statistical Organizations and/or Central Banks

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.
