One natural source of air pollution is from volcanic eruptions. There are large amounts of gases and ash that erupt from the volcano and onto the environment. Another natural source of air pollution are fog and mist.

What is a primary fossil fuel that releases the fewest pollutants when compared to other fossil fuel?
Natural gas.
Two main human sources of primary air pollutants are?
Two main human sources of primary air pollutants are burning fossil fuels and transport. Transport is actually defined as a necessary evil.
What is causing air pollution besides cars?
Chemicals from factories will cause air pollution. Also, cleaning and styling products are pollutants as well. Fires burning items besides natural vegetation also cause pollutants.
What is primary pollution?
Pollution is any foreign substance present in more concentration than safer limits. They are two types of pollutants 1. Primary pollutants 2. Secondary pollutants Primary pollutants are those which generated directly from Source . That type of pollution is generally termed as primary pollution. Ex : Carbondioxide , Sulphur dioxide etc in case of Air pollution Secondary pollutants are those which formed by the combination of more than two or more primary pollutants Ex : Ozone , Photo chemical smog in case of air pollution
What is a harmful substance added to the environment?
The general term for it is environmental pollution.
Are all pollutants man made?
No, pollutants can be natural. Volcanoes often emit sulfur dioxide for instance.
Why can we not just leave it to natural process to decompose pollutants dumped into the oceans?
There are too much pollutants being dumped for natural processes to cope with. We must reduce the amount and toxicity of pollutants we dump in order to help nature cope.
Pollutants that are not broken down by natural processes are?
nondegradable
How do primary pollutants form?
There are two main types of primary pollutants: man-made pollutants and natural pollutants. Man-made primary pollutants are formed largely from combustion reactions used to create electricity and run the over one billion cars that are in the world today. These pollutants include Sulfur oxides (Sulfur dioxide, Sulfur trioxide), Carbon oxides (Carbon dioxide, Carbon monoxide), and Nitrogen oxides (Nitrogen dioxide, Nitrogen monoxide). Another type of man-made primary pollutant includes VoCs (Volatile Organic Compounds), which are largely responsible for destroying the ozone layer. Natural primary pollutants are formed by natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornados, and volcano eruptions, and include dust, ash, and salt particles.
Do natural gas produce more air pollutants than oil?
No.
What fuel releases fewer pollutants then burning coal or oil?
Natural gas is the cleanest burning of the fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas). It emits less greenhouse gas than the other two.
What are some natural pollutants?
cyclones, volcanic eruptions, forest fires ,overgrazing
Contamination of the atmosphere by the introduction of pollutants from human and natural sources?
Deplet
What are the 5 Natural Air Pollutants?
air,water,noise,redioactivesiil or land pollution
Which fossil fuel produces the lowest overall levels of air pollutants?
Natural gas.
How much contaminants have been identified as air pollutants?
How many are other than pollen, fog, and dust, which are of natural origin, more contaminants have been identified as air pollutants?
What is the contamination of the atmosphere by the introduction of pollutants from human and natural sources?
like it is the matter of life circle
