Pollutants
Nitrogen oxides
Effects
Nitrogen oxide is linked with many problems including acid rain, smog and respiratory problems.
-
-
-
Sulfur Dioxide
-
-
Sources
sulfur is an impurity in many fossil fuels, during combustion it reacts with oxygen from the air .
-
Carbon Monoxide
Effects
Carbon Monoxide is toxic to humans. It binds irreversibly with haemoglobin, a pigment in red blood cells, preventing them from carrying oxygen, this suffocates the body, with no oxygen so the body cannot do respiration.
-
Sources
Carbon Monoxide is formed by incomplete combustion of fuels, this happens when there is not enough oxygen to form CO2.
-
Carbon particulates
Effects
Carbon Particulates cause many problems, including: lung disease, increased asthma attacks and is linked to some types of cancer. Particulates are also linked to global dimming.
-
Sources
Like Carbon Monoxide, Carbon Particulates are also formed by incomplete combustion of fuels, when there is Not enough oxygen.
