Factory pollution is over 40% of the pollution that causes global warming. One of the diseases that it causes is Asthma. More than twenty million people a year have asthma attacks and over 9,000 kids in the United States die a year from asthma attacks. Other diseases are heart and lung diseases, and respiratory Allergies ("Drgreene.com"). The World Health Organization estimates that in all 4.6 million people die each year from causes that are directly from air pollution.
According to Scorecard, over 20,000 factories in the United States produce over 4 billion pounds of toxic chemicals that could leak into the environment.

What activities cause co2 emissions?
Basicly there are 2 types of processes that cause co2 emissions: natural and human made. Natural processes include decay of vegetation, animals and even humans! Arobic respiration by living beings also produces co2 emissions. Human made processes include combustion of fuels to produce energy. Combustion is done in vehicles, furnaces, industries, power plants, etcetra.

Why do appliances produce carbon dioxide?
Appliances don't exactly produce carbon dioxide (CO2), but they are responsible for CO2 emissions. Appliances run on electricity, and most electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). This burning emits CO2, a greenhouse gas that is causing global warming.
