  17. Problems with Fossil Fuels/Coal • Large source of atmospheric pollution • Create carbon dioxide (CO2) when burned • Implicated in global warming • Nitrous oxides (NOx) – smog • Sulfur dioxide (SO2) – acid rain • Measurable amounts of radioactive material • Naturally present in coal • More than a nuclear power plant
