Mostly sulphur and carbon dioxode comes out of a power station that burns fossil fuels. But there are some other gases

What are 5 compounds made from magnesium?
aeroplanes, antacid, fireworks, magnets and atomic power stations
What is Hydroelectric power?
Moving water can be used to generate electricity in hydroelectric power stations.
Why were Nuclear Power Stations made?
Nuclear power plants were made in the hope of providing a more efficient source of electricity than is obtained from coal powered plants.
Are all pollutants man made?
No, pollutants can be natural. Volcanoes often emit sulfur dioxide for instance.
Can you stop acid rain?
No, not entirely because some of it is natural. However, it is possible to do stuff about the pollutants that man puts into the atmosphere that cause man made acid rain. In England now, all the power stations must 'scrub' the gasses coming out of the chimney to remove the sulphur dioxide which causes acid rain (it is tuned into drywall).
How is electricity form power stations made?
A generator contains magnets which can be rotated; as their magnetic lines of force pass through surrounding wires, they generate electricity. In order to create the necessary rotation, various mechanisms are used, such as steam turbines (steam can be made using either fossil fuels or nuclear power), wind, or flowing water. Photoelectric power is made in an entirely different way, but that is not used at power stations.
Why are pollutants in the sea not made harmless by dilution?
Pollutants in the sea are not made harmless by dilution because large bodies of water have the capacity to dilute and disperse wastes :) Hope that helps you out!
How is calcium carbonate used in coal fired power stations?
Limestone is used in a power station to neutralise the sulphur dioxide that is emitted. Carbon dioxide and carbon sulphate are both made!
How is the ozone layer affected by pollution why is this bad?
Ozone layer is depleted by the pollutants. CFC's are such man made pollutants which destroy the ozone.
How is acid rain made worse?
By accumulating pollutants from the air as it falls .
What is Venuses atmospheric made of?
carbon dioxide
What are docking stations made of?
metal?
