Which energy sources produce carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide?
Burning coal (a fossil fuel) releases carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide.
What emissions and by-products are produced from burning coal?
Sulphur Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide are by products are produced by burning most fossil fuels, not just coal.

What is it called when burning coal and exhaust from automobiles release carbon into the air?

When coal is burnt the chemical change combines carbon from the coal with oxygen from the air to produce carbon dioxide.
Does coal burning power plants release radioactive waster?
While coal fired plants release particulates, carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide as major pollutants they also release radioactive materials which were contained in the coal as aerosols.
What is released when a diamond burns?
Since diamonds are made of carbon, just like coal, they release carbon dioxide when they burn.
What increases carbon dioxide in the air driving cars or heating buildings with coal?
Both these activities release long-hidden carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere. Coal emits more CO2 than oil (when burnt).
