They include: carbon dioxide, water vapour, sulfur dioxide and carbon monoxide.
The carbon oxides and water vapour are the primary products. If combustion is complete the CO is converted to CO2, which is less poisonous. Sulphur Dioxide is produced only if the fuel contains sulphur or sulphur compounds in the first place, but this does include coal and oil. Petroleum -based fuels may also produce nitrous oxide under certain circumstances, including in vehicle engines.
greenhouse gases
Carbon dioxide
Burning fossil fuels contributes to climate change and are nonrenewable.
Pollution is released into the atmosphere. ..
The burning of fossil fuels releases carbon dioxide that has been hidden for 300 million years. This is the extragreenhouse gas that is causing global warming.

it is produced bt the burning of fossil fuels
what percentage of electricity produced in the UK comes from burning fossil fuels ?
The increase is in greenhouse gases (CO2. methane) in the atmosphere. These gases and others are produced both naturally and by industrial activities including burning of fossil fuels.
Pollution is released into the atmosphere. ..
It damages the environment by adding to the greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.Greenhouse gases are responsible for the greenhouse effect, which keeps the planet warm.Additional gases from the burning of fossil fuels are producing the enhanced greenhouse effect which is warming the planet.
Mostly the burning of fossil fuels which contain amounts of sulphur, such as coal. The gases produced from the burning dissolve in water in the atmosphere to form sulphurous and sulphuric acids.
Fossil Fuels
The burning of Fossil Fuels
Burning fuels creates, or releases, mostly water and carbon dioxide, with a small number of other gases, depending on the quality of the fuel.
