If say China has passed the US a couple years ago, that still means that the US has been no. 1 for decades before that, right?

I can not say for sure US was #1 for decades before China because I find lists and articles that show other countries as the leaders in pollution. I did find the US number one for radioactive waste and taking the number one spot.
