Global emissions from the majority of the pollutants shown are expected to decline in the future, except nitrogen oxides.
Emissions of carbon monoxide (CO) amounted to 1.2 billion metric tons worldwide in 2015. However, in 2050 it is projected that emissions of this pollutant will have dropped to approximately one billion metric tons. Air pollutant emissions worldwide from 2015 to 2050, by compound (in million metric tons)
