1) Do you know about the country that causes most of the pollution of the world?

2) Do you know about the country that produces most of the pollution of the world?

3) Do you know about the country that produces most of the world pollution?

Please check my sentences.
 
Do you mean to ask whether someone knows which country produces/emits the most pollution?
 
No. If you're asking if the person knows which country produces the most pollution, then that's how your question should be worded. Try again.

As EMS stated earlier, you should use "which" in your questions.

Go back to post #1. In all three sentences:

1. Delete "about the".
2. Replace it with the word "which".
3. Delete "that".

"Most of the pollution in the world" sounds better.
 
Do they emit the worst pollution proportionally or regardless?
 
"Most of the pollution in the world" sounds better.

That's not right, though. It's not right to say that any one country produces "most of the pollution in the world".

Do you know which country causes the most pollution?
Do you know which country causes more pollution than any other?
