Carbon dioxide is the one of the most common of all air pollution and is known to be a major contributor to global warming. Pollutants that are produced from the combustion of fossil fuels other than carbon dioxide include sulphur oxides (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx), particulate matter (PM), carbon monoxide (CO) and volatile organic compounds (VOC). ... AIR POLLUTION: THE PRIMARY AIR POLLUTANTS CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) Carbon monoxide is one of the most common air pollutants it our world today. ...

The four pollutants consist of carbon monoxide, ozone, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxide. Carbon monoxide which is released from cars and furnaces can be the most deadly out of all four pollutants. ... Some of the homes in my development have installed the solar panels and say that it was a great investment so the idea of getting a system is not far off; 4) I will increase the amount of times I car pool, ride a bike or take a run which will cut back on gas fumes given off by my car because this gives off nitrous oxide which is toxic to the lungs and contributes to the increase in ozone, carbo...

Still far from perfect, the process of controlled explosion produces various harmful emissions "most notably Hydrocarbons, Carbon monoxide, and Nitrogen Oxides. ... A colorless, odorless, gas, Carbon Monoxide reduces the flow of oxygen in the bloodstream and hinders mental functions and visual perception. ... In theory, the internal combustion engine should burn fuel perfectly producing nothing but water vapor and carbon dioxide and operating under the rules of stoichiometry, the ideal ratio for any reaction to occur. If this were the case, Hydrocarbons, Carbon Monoxide, and Nitrogen Oxid...
