POLLUTION FROM FOSSIL FUELS
they release-> when burned
GREENHOUSE GASES (GHGs)
gases can be absorb + emit infrared radiation
trap heat in the atmosphere
excess prodution GHGs causing GREENHOUSE EFFECT
Environmental issues in the world today
=CLIMATE CHANGE
They create POLLUTION
CLIMATE CHANGE
earth is slowly warming
melting of the polar ice caps
rising of the ocean leavel + flooding of many coastal towns
Crude Oil-Coal contain sulphur+nitrogen
combine with Oxygen during the combustion of these Fossil Fuels
forming 2 poisonous products
SO2
NO2
Dangerous Substances
present (acid rain)
with direct Combustion of Fossil Fuels
SMALL PARTICULATES (emitted)
can cause
damage Respiratory System
Coughing (tosse)
Lung Infiammation (even Cancer)
CLEAN COAL TECHNOLOGY (CCT)
Coal is
refined
EMISSIONS (sulphur dioxide-nitrogen dioxide) are
Reduced
Creating cleaner + more efficient energy
