yes Answer: Fsssi fuels can be gases (methane), liquids (oils) or solids (coal). The mining and recovery processes for all of these can create water pollution but these are, in general, the same as the emissions from any mining or industrial process and cannot be attributed to the fact that they are fossil fuels. The use or accidental loss of gaseous fossil fuels generally creates no water pollution. The use of liquid fossil fuels creates few water related problems except in the case of highly sulfidic bunker oils where the sulfur dioxide can create acid precipitation if not treated. The loss of liquids fossil fuels can create environmental problems. The use of solid fuels cann emit sulfur dioxide and contribute to acid precipitation. The loss of solid fossil fuels is generally a materials handling problem although particulate losses can impair benthic organism and their environment.

All fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) get burnt in industry and transport. They all create additional carbon dioxide which is classified as a pollutant in this case, as it is causing global warming.
