China has been the number one polluter since 2008. The latest figures (2010) show this:
World CO2 Emissions: 33,508,901 thousand metric tonnes
1. China: 8,240,958 thousand metric tonnes
2. United States: 5,492,170 thousand metric tonnes
3. India: 2,069,738 thousand metric tonnes
4. Russia: 1,688,688 thousand metric tonnes
5. Japan: 1,138,432 thousand metric tonnes
6. Germany: 762,543 thousand metric tonnes
7. Iran: 574,667 thousand metric tonnes
8. South Korea: 563,126 thousand metric tonnes
9. Canada: 518,475 thousand metric tonnes
10. Saudi Arabia: 493,726 thousand metric tonnes
The top two polluters (China and the US) account for 40% of CO2 emissions. However, the US has been slowly declining in numbers while China has been rising sharply. This means that our big concern to health is China because they are exceeding at an unhealthy rate; their 2009 versus 2010 statistics shows that they almost polluted 1,000,000 thousand more metric tonnes in just one year. And because of the new growing power of India, India may even surpass the US and perhaps China in the years to come. In fact, all major European nations (including Canada) have been slowly declining in pollution while these eastern nations have been rapidly exceeding. This also shows the switching of world power from the Western World to the Eastern World.
Most of the oil that pollutes the ocean is caused by human activities such as oil spills from tankers and offshore drilling, as well as runoff from land-based sources like industrial facilities and urban areas. Accidents, leaks, and improper disposal of oil products contribute significantly to oil pollution in marine environments.
A substance that pollutes the air, water, or soil is called a pollutant. Pollutants can come from various sources such as industrial activities, vehicle emissions, and agricultural run-off.

i love you! KISSME!
Yes every country pollutes. Some more than others, but still.
Plastic.
it pollutes our air and endangers species. etc...
The atmospheric layer containing pollution is troposphere. It the nearest to earth.
