Gasses produced from fossil fuels are many, such as what was known as coal gas (acetylene), CO2, CO, and many others that are formed with impurities found in fossil fuels as sulphur which can produces several toxic gasses within itself.

When you burn fossil fuels what gas is given off?
The main gases given off when you burn fossil fuels, such as coil, oil and natural gas, are carbon dioxide and water vapour. Both are greenhouse gases, but the water vapour quickly falls out of the atmosphere.
What is the solution to emissions?
Emissions from factories can be reduced by installing 'green' devices to reduce the amount of soot, carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. The Government can also promote the use of public transport instead of private transport so as to reduce exhaust given out by cars. Saving electricity can also reduce the amount of fossil fuels burnt, which releases carbon dioxide too.
What is adding to the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere today?
Given in no particular order:burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas)forest firesvolcanic eruptions
Why are fossil fuels increasing year by year?
Fossil fuels are not increasing year by year. However, the known reserves of fossil fuels may be increasing, depending on the success of exploration efforts and the rate of depletion of the reserves. Also, reserves are divided into producible and non-producible portions, with the distinction based on what is considered economical to extract given current prices. As the producible portion is used up and as extraction technology improves, the dividing line between producible and non-producible moves and the producible portion may grow.
Amount of fossil fuels that can be extracted at a profit?
The amount of fossil fuel that can be extracted at a profit using current technology is called the reserve. The amount of reserves in a given deposit is dictated by the amount of resource in the deposit, the cost of extracting the resource, and the price for which the resource can be sold.

What are the name of the gases that are given off by fossil fuels?
well your ooking for an answer for your homework lol not giving you it p.s follow me on twitter @harajuku barbie ,
What other name is given to carbon based fuels?
Fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
What is another word for burning of fossil fuel?
Combustion is the term given to burning a fuel, very often fossil fuels.
What is released when fuel burns in oxygen?
Water is given off when fuels are burnt in oxygen
What is present in the smoke and fumes given off when fossil fuels are burned?
carbon dioxcide :)
What type of energy is given off by the fossil fuels and used to boil the water?
heat energy

Most air pollution is a result of?
Carbon dioxide being given off when we burn fossil fuels.
Why is the percentage of carbon dioxide in the air so low when so much is given off through burning fossil fuels?
Don't concentrate on how carbon dioxide competes with other gases such as Nitrogen, Oxygen, and Argon in the total percentages but rather the change in the percentage of carbon dioxide in the air over time. It is generally agreed that carbon dioxide levels are higher now than ever before due to fossil fuels.
What does Alternative energy cannot effectively replace fossil fuels mean?
It means there is no alternative energy source that can ween humanity off of fossil fuels. Which is presently true, however, given almost every developed nation is pooling their resources to replace fossil fuels, that isn't a timeless answer. Before the latter half of this century, gasoline and every other form, will or begin to exist only in history.
What is the name given to type of resources that have limited source?
Renewable energy sources. Whereas resources that have a limited source are called fossil fuels.
