What else can I help you with?
Give you one thing that can cause air pollution?
electricity
Do battery-driven cars cause pollution?
Depends on where you get the electricity to recharge the batteries. If the electricity is produced in a hydro-electric plant then there is almost no pollution. If the electricity comes from a nuclear power plant then you have nuclear waste. If the electricity comes from a coal-fired plant that you do have pollution from the burning of coal.
Does the metro or tube cause pollution?
Yes, but not directly. The trains themselves run on electricity, but the electricity has to be generated somewhere.
Why are you contributing to global warming when you use electricity?
When you use electricity for things that cause pollution. This might lead to ozone depletion.
Can an electric car cause pollution?
Most of them use gasoline as well, which would cause pollution. Even if it is completely electric, that energy had to come from somewhere, Like a power plant that produces pollution to create electricity. If you run on only electric, and get your energy from a windmill or waterwheel then it wouldn't!
What is one advantage of using windmills to generate electricity?
They do not produce waste products that cause pollution.
Do electric cars cause pollution?
It depends if it completely uses electricity. If it uses gas, of course it will.AnswerThink about it. Where do you suppose the electricity required to charge its batteries comes from?Also, the process of building the vehicle causes pollution.
Why is hydro-electricity a clean source of energy?
Hydro-electricity is a clean source of energy. It is because energy is harnesses from flowing water. It does not cause pollution.
What pollution does electricity cause?
Electricity production can cause pollution through the emission of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide from fossil fuel power plants. It can also lead to air pollution from the release of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter. Additionally, the generation and disposal of electronic waste from power plants and electrical devices can contribute to pollution.
How many metric tons of air pollution does nuclear power plant which generates electricity cause?
almost none
Why is important to save electricity?
It is becoming expensive, so do not waste money.Most sources of elctricity comes from non renewable fuels, don't waste it.Most electricity generators cause pollution of one sort or another, cut down on pollution.
How does electricity produce pollution?
Electricity does pollution in many ways. It begins pollution at the very beginning when produced in thermal power stations.Electricity doesn't pollute directly, it helps other machines to pollute. For eg: Eletricity is used for many appliances, which may malfunction and catch fire, leading into many other problems. Electricity is one of the cleanest sources of energy. But making the electricity can cause many pollutions. A common method of generating electricity is to burl fossil fuels. Burning fossil fuels can cause pollution, but not the electricity. But wasting electricity can lead to burn more fossil fuels to generate it. In small scale, electricity is obtained by chemical reactions in non rechargeable cells. These cells contains Murcury, cadmium and various pollutents. Even in the rechargeable cells when they are inally dumped can cause a huge damage to the environment. But there are various clean methods of generating electricity without the pollution. Generating electricity with fallig water or hydro electricity is one of the clean ways of generating electricity. This is the majour source of electricity used in Sri Lanka. The initial cost is heigher; but in long run, it needs nothing but constantly falling water. Solar cells are also a clean source of electricity. This is good for small scale electricity requirements. Costs a lot, but good in long run. Needs little maintainance and no fuel but Sun Shine.
