Some of theharmfulgases which are rising in theatmosphereand are major cause of atmosphericpollutionare (in no particular order):
Carbon monoxide (from incomplete combustion of fuels... no choice, toxic to breathe),
Sulfur dioxideandnitrogen oxide(from industrial and vehicular exhaust, causes of acid rain, irritates air passages),
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs, refrigerant discharges, causes destruction of the ozone layer),
Mercury emissions (fromindustries,fluorescent lampsand the burning of coal, potentially toxic),
Carbon dioxide (fossil fuel burning and greenhouse gas),
Methane gas(cow farming, landfill emissions and natural sources, greenhouse gas),
Volatile organic compounds(from fuel vapors, solvent, paint, etc. Really includes methane too),
Ozone (which is bad at low altitudes and does not survive to replenish thehigh altitudeozone layer which protects us from UV light)
