SULPHUR DIOXIDE (S02)
- added to the atmosphere when we have the combustion of fossifuels
--> factories (coals and oils)
--> vehicles (petrol)
so2 +h20 --> sulphuric acid
= acid rain
which will affect the plants and animals.
--> the top of the tree would be dead
--> the root system would be ruined meaning that they cannot gain calcium and magnesium, resulting in yellow leaves and no growth for leaves
-also fishes wont obtain as much oxygen in the water therefore it will suffocate and die
CARBON MONOXIDE
-fossil fuels (coal/gas) ------> co
co combine with hemoglobin, which will block the haemoglobin from carrying oxygen
--> reduce the oxygen circulation
- very toxic and can lead to death
