World Bank data measures the paper and pulp industry's share of total biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) emissions, a standard test for organic water pollutants. The dataset is part of the World Development Indicators (WDI) Database Archives. It classifies emissions using the International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC) revision 2.
Use Cases
- Analyze trends in the paper and pulp industry's contribution to total organic water pollution over time.
- Compare pollution shares from the ISIC division 34 (paper and pulp) against other industrial sectors.
- Model the relationship between industrial activity levels and biochemical oxygen demand emissions.
Strengths
- Data originates from the authoritative World Bank World Development Indicators (WDI) database.
- Emissions are measured using the standardized biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) test.
Limitations
- The dataset scope is limited to a single industry (paper and pulp) and a single pollutant metric (BOD).
- Sample size, temporal coverage, and geographic coverage are unknown from the provided information.
