The Burning of fossil fuels produces carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide, and sulfur dioxide. They also produce particulates such as dust and soot.
Some pollutants released from burning fossil fuels mix with water vapour and make it slightly acidic. This then falls as acid rain.
The carbon in fossil fuels is released by burning. This combustion emits carbon dioxide, water and some other pollutants depending on how complete the combustion was. This carbon dioxide, which is slightly heavier than air, become mixed all through the atmosphere by the action of the winds.
burning fossil fuels
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.
Currently our primary means of producing energy is burning fossil fuels, which is a chemical reaction. All chemical reactions have byproducts, some of which are pollutants. With solar energy, though, we capture energy directly so there are no byproducts.A:Because it is sunlight energy and does not release any carbon dioxide or other pollutants into the air.
No. Lightning actually produces small amounts of pollutants such as ozone and nitrogen oxides. The rain the usually accompanies lightning can remove some pollutants.
some causes are as follow one by burning of fuels
Yes. Coal, Oil and gas are usedYes. In fact, most of the electricity in the world is produced by burning fossil fuels. The heat from the burning fuel produces steam, which is kept at high pressure, and released with enough force to turn a turbine, which powers an electric generator.This is not ideal, because burning fossil fuels release excessive carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which slowly is warming the planet, plus they release pollutants (such as mercury vapor), that are harmful to the health of humans, plants, and animals.
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."

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.

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