  • Compendium on Environment Statistics of Pakistan - 2004
    Compendium on Environment Statistics of Pakistan - 2004 Federal Bureau of Statistics Government of Pakistan i Foreword As an inescapable concomitant with the traditional route of development, Pakistan has been facing natural resource degradation and pollution problems. The unsavory spectacle of air pollution, water contamination and other macro environmental impacts such as water logging, land degradation and desertification, are on rise. All this, in conjunction with rapid growth in population, has been instrumental to the expanding tentacles of poverty. In order to make an assessment of the environmental problems as a prelude to arrest the pace of degeneration and, provide for sustainable course of economic development, the availability of adequate data is imperative. This publication is an attempt to provide relevant statistics compiled through secondary sources. The 1st Compendium was prepared in 1998 under the Technical Assistance of Asian Development Bank in accordance with, as far as possible, the guidelines of “United Nations Framework for Development of Environment Statistics (FDES)”. This up-dating has been made without any project facilitation. Notwithstanding exclusive reliance on mail inquiry, all possible efforts have been made to collect available data and, quite a few new tables on quality of water, concentration of dust fall in big cities and, state of air quality in urban centers of Punjab, have also been included in the compendium. However, some tables included in the predecessor of this publication could not be up-dated due either to their being single time activity or the source agencies did not have the pertinent data. The same have been listed at appendix-IV to refer compendium-1998 for the requisite historical data.
