why is burning of fuel harmful????
Answers
Fuels are usually carbon componds. Burning of fuels produces harmful emissions, such as release of chlorofluorocarbons, carbon dioxide etc which are greenhouse gases. They also deplete the ozone layer which protects us from the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun. UV rays can cause skin cancer, cataract etc and burning of fossil fuels results in depletion of the ozone layer.
Answer:
The fossil fuels are coal, oil and natural gas. When fossil fuels are burned, they release nitrogen oxides into the atmosphere, which contribute to the formation of smog and acid rain. Burning of natural gas produces nitrogen oxides and carbon dioxide, but in lower quantities than burning coal or oil. When coal is burned, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and mercury compounds are released. Burning oil at power plants produces nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, methane, and mercury compounds. Carbon monoxide is released when car engines burn fossil fuels
