In my opinion, when considering fossil fuels, coal provides the most pollution in terms of released and/or generated amount of CO2 because coal has a high amount of carbon in its fuel composition provided on the unit mass basis and it has the smallest stoichiometric oxidant to fuel ratio when ideal and complete combustion takes place.
Coal is plentiful and cheap, if you close your eyes to the cost of its pollution.
Far less than fossil fuels. The amount of nuclear fuel required to make a certain amount of energy is tiny compared to fossil fuels, and therefore produces far less pollution. Most of the pollution is from mining the nuclear fuel, the only pollution from burning the fuel is "heat pollution", where the cooling towers dump waste heat into a lake or ocean and the temperature changes the ecosystem.
Coal is used most, and also emits most carbon dioxide pollution.
The most common sources of air pollution include vehicle emissions, industrial activities, and burning of fossil fuels for energy production. Other sources include agricultural practices, construction activities, and wildfires.
- no air pollution - no greenhouse effects - no fossil fuel - the most important alternative source of energy - it is the energy of the future

Fossil fuel is used in the making of most everything, the answer to your question is yes.
Most air pollution is caused by burning fossil fuels, such as gasoline and coal, in vehicles and power plants. Industrial processes, agriculture, and waste disposal also contribute to air pollution.
The fossil fuel that humans use most is oil (petroleum). It is primarily used for transportation, electricity generation, heating, and manufacturing. Oil is a versatile energy source that plays a key role in the global economy.
