Air pollution trends in Asia and the Pacific. The per capita commercial energy
use more than doubled in most parts of the Asia-Pacific region between 1975 and
1995. Fossil fuels account for approximately 80% of energy generation in the
region with both China and India relying heavily on coal, and this has resulted
in rapidly increasing emissions of sulfur dioxide (at a rate at least four times
higher than any other region between 1970 and 1986). NO V
emissions from
fossil fuel combustion have also increased (by about 70%).
