- Poisonous
- If it combines with haemoglobin in red blood cells, it prevents them from carrying O2
- made when fossil fuels are burnt without enough air supply
- Mostly released in car emissions
- Modern cars have a CATALYTIC CONVERTER - turns CO into CO2
- Poisonous
- Acid Rain
- Kills fish and trees
- Causes lakes to become more ACIDIC
- Damages leaves & releases toxic substances from the soil
- Hard fot the trees to take up nutrients
- Sulfur Dioxide (SO2)
- Sulfur Dioxide gas + Rain clouds =
- ACID RAIN
- Internal combustion engines in cars and power stations are the MAIN CAUSES
- ACID RAIN
- Released when burning fossil fuels
- Comes from sulfur impurities in the fossil fuels
