Answer:
Products formed during combustion of fossil fuels.
The primary pollutants are Carbon Monoxide (CO), Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Sulfur (SO2), Nitrogen Dioxide (NOx), Nitric Oxide (N2O), Volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and Hydrocarbons (HCs).
Fossil oil is largely made up of carbon and hydrogen which form carbon dioxide (CO2) and water following combustion in air. The combustion of fossil oil also creates sulphur oxides (SOx) and nitrogen oxides (NOx) and these are believed to have a detrimental effect on the environment, the atmosphere and the ozone layer.
