I think you mean amoung the OECD, of course if you look at absolute
terms then the US wins hands down.

On a per capita basis, amoung the OECD, we'd (Canada) be the #1 producer
of sulpher dioxide if it wasn't for the Australians.

It's got more to do with a big country, sparsely populated and a crappy
public transportion system so we drive a frig of lot.
