Answer 2

Answer:

The two main environmental pollution caused by burning of fossil fuel is air and water pollution, and one has to minimize both.

Explanation:

The burning of fossil fuel results in sulphur oxides, Co2, nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons.

Sulphur and nitrogen oxides are a result of bad exhaust management system in vehicles, and manufacturers have to be told to improve exhaust management system.

Hydrocarbons has to be taken care of by better engine efficiency.

Finally, water pollution is the result of oil leakage, which has to be stopped by better shipping arrangements.
