sulfur dioxide = combustion of a fossil fuel with sulfur impurities
acid rain is caused by sulfur trioxide. it harms and kills plants and animals, especially aquatic ones. it can also damage man-made structures such as buildings/statues
pollutants - carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide
carbon dioxide - complete combustion of any fuel containing carbon atoms
carbon monoxide - incomplete combustion of any fuel containing carbon atoms
nitrogen oxides - oxidation of atmospheric nitrogen inside the engine of a car causing smog, acid rain. smog can cause asthma attacks or death
properties of pollutants
carbon monoxide is a toxic gas is colourless and odourless and os is not easily detected.
sulfur dioxide and oxides of nitrogen cause respiratory problems in humans and cause acid rain
particulates cause global dimming and health problems fro humans
