Question

What are the harmful effects of increasing consumption of fuels

Answer 1

Increasing fuel consumption leads to* increase in greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide which cause global warming. *Increasing fuel consumption leads to increase inharmful gases like carbon monoxide which can cause harmto life on Earth.

Answer 2

Increased fuel consumption has led to harmful effects on the environment in the following ways:-

1. Fuels like wood, coal and petroleum products, release unburnt carbon particles. These carbon particles of smoke, or ash get suspended in the air. Excessive amount of these particles in the air cause breathing problems. In winter , these particles produce smog which is very harmful to plants as well as animals.

2. Incomplete combustion of carbon fuels results in the formation of carbon monoxide gas. It is very poisonous gas. Even small amounts of carbon monoxide, in air can cause breathing problems large amounts of it can prove fatal.

3. Combustion of fuels releases carbon dioxide in the environment. Excess of carbon dioxide, in air, can trap heat energy which can raise the temperature of the earth. This is termed as global warming. This can result in the melting of Polar glaciers which in turn can lead to a rise in the sea level causing floods in the coastal areas.

4. Burning of coal and diesel releases Sulphur Dioxide gas. It is an extremely suffocating gas. It also dissolves in water vapour to produce sulphuric acid when it rains, the acid, thus produced, can damage buildings, plants and trees. Such rain is called acid rain.
