... , and also it smells pretty bad. Air pollution comes from many different sources. One of the major sources is carbon monoxide which manly comes from automobiles, but also burning of fossil fuels, CFCs etc. Air pollution does not leave the Earth it all gets trapped up in the atmosphere. This doesn't bother most people, and they think that it will not harm ... them. People burn down forests and people burn fossil fuels, and CFCs from aerosols. Every bit of this harms our atmosphere. Factories and transportation depend on huge amounts of fuel billions of tons of coal and oil are consumed ar...

During this time (3) humans are driving cars, power plants are running both of which burn fossil fuels; then, someone is spraying their hair with hair spray, garbage is laying around in landfills and etc. (4) when all these fumes combine, they "form a "blanket" which traps energy, thus warming ... gases, carbon dioxide (CO2), are produced every time a human or an animal exhales, but nothing can be done about that.

... Sun's rays effect (from that comes the name "photochemical smog-.) There are 2 main types of primary pollutants: • Oxides of nitrogen (NO and NO ) and carbon monoxide (CO) formed when fossil fuels are burnt under high temperatures. • Unburnt hydrocarbons, mainly alkanes (VOCs) which are released from cars' exhausts or from the evaporation of ... fuels inn petrochemical plants or petrol stations. The formation of secondary pollutants involves free radicals. The main secondary pollutants are: • Ozone (O ) • Nitrogen dioxide (NO ) • Hydrogen peroxide (H O ) • Peroxyacetyl ... ...

... air pollutant is not released by paint industries; it is another contributor of smog when it is combined with VOC's. These oxides are the results of the combustion of most fuels. This means that most fuel refineries and ore refineries would have a huge Nitrogen Oxide count. Our cars, trains, the heat used to warm our homes up and airplanes are all ... types of pollutants have little to do with paints and coatings use or manufacture. CARBON MONOXIDE This product is mostly a product of combustion. It is made when the combustion of fossil fuels doesn't complete due to the lack of oxygen. I...

There is a gaseous ceiling that is formed around the world and these gases are produced when fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum or natural gases are burned. Some of the heat that comes from the sun's rays is trapped by it. This is what causes the gradual rise ... ...
