Burning of Fossil fuel
Fossil fuels are non-renewable sources of energy. Now there are only limited reserves left in the world. These stores will end soon. These fuels cause a lot of pollution. Burning fossil fuels produces oxides of carbon, sulfur, nitrogen. Sulfur oxides are acidic and cause acid rain. This acid rain affects our water and soil resources.
The burning of fossil fuels causes many types of harmful particles and smoke pollution in the air, due to which many types of respiratory diseases are spread. Carbon dioxide increases the temperature of the atmosphere due to the greenhouse effect and carbon monoxide destroys the life of people sleeping in closed rooms by making kaboxy hemoglobin.
