Answer

When fossil fuels are burned there is release of acidic gases such as sulphur-dioxide and nitrogen dioxides. These gases are responsible for the acid rains which damages tress, building, and plants, also reducing the fertility of soil. It is also dangerous for the aquatic life. Also, greenhouse gases such as carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide are released. These are the pollution that are caused by the burning of fossil fuels.
