Lesson outcome

I can describe how pollutants can be produced by impurities in fuels and by incomplete combustion.

Show transcript
Carbon monoxide gas is toxic. Carbon particulates contribute to health issues and global dimming. Sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides are formed through burning fuels, and form acids in water. Catalytic converters help complete combustion reactions and the removal of nitrogen monoxide from exhaust gases. Hydrogen can be used as a fuel in cars and this has advantages and disadvantages.
