Explain how pollution from cars and factories burning fossil fuels pollute the water?

Answer 1

When they burn the fuels it lets off smoke and the smoke contains carbons, dioxides, and nitrogen, or possibly even oxide all these deadly chemicals can kill a human, animal, or even trees. :) hope this helped

Answer 2

Most of the fuels we come across in daily life (coal, oil, gas, wood, manure) use the conversion of some carbon based compound to carbon dioxide with a subsequent release of heat energy.

This process produces carbon dioxide which is a pollutant in many senses of the word but is incorporated back into the carbon cycle.

Fires also produces nitrogen oxides if the temperature is high enough. Nitrogen oxides can contribute to acid rain and to smog production. Fuels which are not burned well enough to completely combust can produces cracked and reformed hydrocarbons which are active in smog production and in other air pollution problems. Unburned fuel can also produce carbon monoxide.

Contaminants in the fuel such as sulfur can be released as sulfur dioxide, a contributor to acid rain and a plant and animal poison.

The solid residue from fuel combustion - ash - contains heavy polyaromatic compounds, minerals, and other contaminants which can affect groundwater and soil.

Air Pollution is from smoke out of large factories and from gas out of the back of the car. And all of this car driving and large factory making junk has caused: A Hole In The Earth! It is really north side of the planet (earth). To help stop the sun's rays not be more harmful, and to help our planet for others... * Try To Ride Your Bide To School/Work and back Home if you can. Riding your bike is also excersise, ladies and gentlemen! * Carpool if you find a person that is going the same place as you and you can't ride your bike or walk. * Walk if you can to like a store or something. * This still is bad but, if you are going somewhere more than 1 one state away, then take an airplane, others are on it (inculding you) and then you won't be using your cars!

Answer 4

fire causes air pollution because of the smoke. The smoke can build up the nitrogen in the green house gases and cause the atmosphere to produce acid rain. Considering the people in the area who may have Asthma that can worsen their case and can them to get sick.

Hope this helped you

Answer 5

When we burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity we release various gases, among them carbon dioxide (CO2), methane, sulphur and nitrous dioxides. The three dioxide gases mix with water vapour in the atmosphere to form acid rain. When this falls to earth it damages many things including rivers and lake water, turning it more acidic. This affects fish stocks and other things.
