Yes, if you mean carbon dioxide but not methane or nitrous oxide.
Yes, if you include power stations as factories.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions:
- Power stations: 30%
- Industry: 21%
- Transport: 19%
- Residential and Commercial: 13%
- Land use and biomass: 9%
- Fossil fuel production and distribution: 8%

∙ 13y agoEach factory produces an amount of pollution specific to its operations, there is no standard amount. The factors would be:
- the type of fuel burned
- the processes involved
- the materials processed and produced
- the level of pollution control

What is air waste?
Air waste refers to pollutants and harmful substances released into the atmosphere, often as a result of human activities such as burning fossil fuels, industrial processes, and transportation emissions. These pollutants can lead to poor air quality, negative health effects, and environmental degradation. It is important to minimize air waste to protect public health and the environment.

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.
What is rain sleet or snow that contains a high concentration of acids?
It's called acid rain, and comes from pollution in the air from factories, cars and anything that burns fossil fuels.
Do you agree air is cleaner in the countryside than in the big cities?
Air is technically cleaner in the country side as most of the smog/pollution comes from factories, etc. Most of these factories are located in urban areas (city areas) due to closer access to the city. The smog spreads out as it moves due to wind and so the pollution/air quality in the country side (rural) is clearer and less congested with pollution. But technically there is still a lot of pollution but it's just spread out a lot.
Pollution that comes from a specific site?
point-source pollution
What pollution comes from one place?
point soarce pollution
