If you mean atmospheric pollution from burning hydrocarbon fuels, the main ones are Carbon Dioxide, Nitrous Oxide and Sulphur Dioxide. All fuels produce CO2 and water-vapour. Nitrous Oxide is a by-product in petrol- and diesel- engine exhaust. The SO2 comes mainly from sulphur-rich coal; but the amount varies a lot with the quality of the coal used.
