Answer: Gas stations can pollute the environment in several ways: * Fuel lost from storage tanks can pollute soil and groudwater * Waste oil from storage tanks can pollute the soil and groundwater * Hydrocarbon fumes from vehicle fuelling can contaminate the air * Spills from fuelling can contaminate the soil and groundwater and run off into the sewers * Vapors from storage tank filling can pollute the air * Exhaust from idling cars can pollute the air * Drips of oil and antifreeze can run off into sewers * Acids and antifreeze from spilled batteries or sales areas can pollute the soil

How do gas stations pollute the environment?

Poorly constructed maintained or operated stations can pollute the environment by: * Releasing hydrocarbon vapors from the filling lines or product storage tanks to the air * Allowing cars to idel while filling * From losses of gasoline or diesel to the ground on nozzle withdrall * From leaking storage tanks to the ground or groundwater * From chemical spills (ethylene glycol or sulfuric acid) * From oil spills from holding tanks or poorly drained oil containers


What are two substances which pollute the environment when fuels burn?

Two substances that pollute the environment when fuels burn are carbon dioxide (CO2), which contributes to climate change, and nitrogen oxides (NOx), which contribute to air pollution and acid rain.


Cleaning items that do not pollute the environment?

Think about this. There is no cleaning item that does not pollute the environment... you are problaby thinking that's wrong but. The manufacturers still had to make the bottle for the eco safe detergents but they extracted the less safe stuff and problaby got rid of it. The best solution is water, a rag, something reuseable.


How does man pollute the environment?

Humans pollute the environment through activities like burning fossil fuels, deforestation, industrial processes, and use of chemicals in agriculture. These actions release harmful substances into the air, water, and soil, leading to air and water pollution, habitat destruction, and climate change.


Do fossil fuels pollute?

Yes, burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas releases pollutants such as carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere. These pollutants contribute to air pollution, global warming, and acid rain, which can have harmful effects on human health and the environment.
