The Burning of fossil fuels produces carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, and sulfur dioxide. They also produce particulates such as dust and soot.

What produces sulfur dioxide?

Sulfur dioxide is produced by burning fossil fuels that contain sulfur, such as coal and oil. It can also be released during volcanic eruptions and some industrial processes, such as metal smelting and paper production.


How does burning fossil fuels affect air quality?

By adding too much CO2 in the atmosphere. This is causing global warming. "Pollutants that come from the combustion of fossil fuels include sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), ground-level ozone, particulate matter (PM), carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), volatile organic compounds (VOC) including benzene, some heavy metals and a number of other pollutants." (Environment Canada)


What are the effects of burning fossil fuels on the following atmosphere?

Greenhouse gases: Burning fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, leading to global warming. Air pollution: Fossil fuel combustion produces pollutants like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides, which contribute to smog, acid rain, and respiratory issues. Ozone depletion: Some fossil fuels release chemicals that deplete the ozone layer, increasing UV radiation reaching the Earth's surface.


What is released when burning?

If by fuel you mean some form of fossil fuels, the answer is H2O (water) and CO2 (carbon dioxide). Hydrogen only produces H2O, and other fuels produce different things.Carbon monoxide, a toxic gas, is released as fuel burns.


What are the causes os climates?

How has the burning of fossil fuels affected the carbon cycle?

Burning fossil fuels has released large amounts of carbon into the atmosphere. As a result, the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has increased. Some claim this results in global warming.


When chemicals from fossil fuels mix with water vapor in the air?

When chemicals from fossil fuels mix with water vapor in the air, they can form acid rain. This acidic precipitation can have harmful effects on the environment, damaging forests, freshwater ecosystems, and buildings. It can also affect human health and wildlife.


Does carbon monoxide come from burning petrol?

Yes, carbon monoxide is formed to some degree by burning petrol and other hydrocarbon fuels.


How does sulfur dioxide and nitrous dioxide get in the air?

high temperature combustion produces nitrous dioxide gas A2: There is no "nitrous dioxide" gas--only Nitric Oxide (NO2) and Nitrous Oxide (N2O; laughing gas). NO2 is produced by burning at high temperatures, say a car engine running lean; and also produced naturally by lightning. Sulfur dioxide can be produced by volcanoes or burning hi-sulfur fuels, like some grades of diesel.


Pollution habitat destruction and inefficiency are some of the disadvantages to using nonrenewable energy resources such as fossil fuels true or false?

True. The use of nonrenewable energy resources like fossil fuels contributes to pollution, habitat destruction, and inefficiencies in energy production. Burning fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases and other pollutants, harming air quality and ecosystems. Additionally, the extraction processes can lead to significant environmental degradation.


What are the results of burning fossil fuels?

Burning fossil fuels releases long held carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This is extra carbon dioxide from millions of years ago and it is overloading the carbon cycle. The greenhouse effect has turned into an enhanced greenhouse effect which some scientists believe is causing global warming. Other scientists believe the earth simply moves into and out of periods of intense warming. The hope of mankind is that we can someday move beyond the use of fossil fuels. People feel we need to move to renewable sources of energy, like solar, water, wind, tidal, geothermal and biomass. And there are certainly many disadvantages to their use. But, the idea that we can currently stop using fossil fuels without billions dying though is a fantasy, because other things that result from the use of fossil fuels include all the conveniences of modern life. To stop burning fossil fuels we would need to give up on any food not locally grown. We would need to stop all transportation and virtually all electric power. The maintenance of power lines also requires fossil fuels. Modern medicine would be a thing of the past to rid ourselves of fossil fuels.


What are the advances of burning fossil fuels over nuclear fuels?

Some potential advantages of burning fossil fuels over nuclear fuels include lower initial cost of infrastructure, greater flexibility in scaling production up or down, and simpler waste management processes. However, burning fossil fuels contributes significantly to air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions, and climate change, which are major drawbacks when compared to nuclear energy.
