Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), when burnt, emit carbon dioxide, which is classed as a pollutant when it is released into the other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide from fossil fuels has been hidden away for hundreds of millions of years. Releasing it now is adding more to the levels of greenhouse gases causing an enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming.
What else can I help you with?
What is the major cause of air pollution?
fossil fuels
What do you burn that is the major cause of air pollution?
Fossil Fuels
What do fossil fuels do to earth?
Burning fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases, contributing to global warming and climate change. Extraction of fossil fuels can also disrupt ecosystems, cause habitat destruction, and lead to water and air pollution. Additionally, the combustion of these fuels releases pollutants that can harm human health.
Does burning fossil and fuels cause noise pollution?
Burning fossil fuels can contribute to noise pollution indirectly, as industrial processes involved in extracting, transporting, and burning these fuels often produce significant noise. Additionally, activities such as drilling, mining, and infrastructure development related to fossil fuels can also generate noise pollution.
Which energy resources creates air pollution?
Fossil fuels.
What is a possible risk for burning fossil fuels?
Air pollution :)
Most air pollution is caused by?
Most air pollution is caused by burning fossil fuels, such as gasoline and coal, in vehicles and power plants. Industrial processes, agriculture, and waste disposal also contribute to air pollution.
Air pollution is primarily due to the burning of fossil fuels?
true
What is the negative impact of fossil fuels on the environment?
Fossil fuels contribute to air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, leading to climate change. Extraction and burning of fossil fuels also result in habitat destruction, water pollution, and negative health impacts on humans and wildlife.
What is an advantage of minimizing pollution?
More fossil fuels will be saved as all this pollution is coming from the use of fossil fuels. Also it will contribute less to global warming (pollution), making our air nice and fresh to breath in
What are some problems using fossil fuels?
Burning fossil fuels contributes to air pollution, climate change, and ocean acidification. Extraction and transportation of fossil fuels can also harm ecosystems and cause accidents such as oil spills. Additionally, fossil fuels are non-renewable resources, leading to concerns about energy security and sustainability.
How does computers cause air pollution?
Indirectly. The majority of the power we use comes from fossil energy, so computers are partly powered by the burning of fossil fuels, which contributes to air pollution. The energy that went into producing the computers also came to some extent from the burning of fossil fuels, so again a contribution. Then the computers had to transported from where they were produced and eventually to the homes of the users. Most of that transport was most likely powered by fossil fuels as well.
