Pollution

Carbon Monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas created by incomplete combustion of carbon-based fuels such as gasoline, diesel, and wood, as well as the combustion of natural and manmade items like cigarettes. CO is particularly problematic in metropolitan environments, where it contributes to photochemical smog and surface ozone generation through synergistic effects with other pollutants. Ozone concentrations, even at moderate levels, have consequences on the respiratory system.
Carbon monoxide produces carbon dioxide when it burns with a blue flame in the presence of oxygen. Metal manufacture, energy generation, metal ore and coal mining, food production, oil and gas extraction from land or sea, chemical production, cement lime, plaster and concrete manufacturing, and petroleum refining are all examples of industrial operations that produce carbon monoxide.

• Air pollution is largely caused by SO2 emissions. Sulphur Oxides typically occur when there are high levels of SO2 in the air (SOx).
• Human health is impacted by both direct exposure to it and exposure to PM2.5 (fine particulate matter), which is created when SO2 combines with other air pollutants to form sulphate particles.
• The burning of fossil fuels in power plants and other industrial facilities is the main contributor to SO2 in the atmosphere.
• Other sources include industrial procedures like the extraction of metal from ore, natural sources like volcanoes, and heavy machinery like trains and ships that operate on gasoline with a high sulphide content.
• Particulate Matter can be created by SOx in response to various climatic conditions. Particulate Matter (PM) pollution is increased by these particles.
• Particulate matter may penetrate the lungs deeply, and too little of it might exacerbate existing health problems.
• With 91 percent of the population living in areas where open-air pollution exceeds WHO standards, air pollution is now a major concern for overall health (WHO). 4.2 million people pass away annually as a result.
• The consumption of petroleum derivatives in power plants and other contemporary offices is the best generator of SO2 in the atmosphere.
• Different sources include industrial operations like mining for metal, natural sources like volcanoes, railways, ships, heavy machinery, and vehicles that use gasoline with a high sulphur content.

The high-grade imported coal has a low ash content of 10-15% & Notably, since most of the coal used in thermal plants in low-grade, it generates a large quantity of ash which requires a large area as landfill or ponds for disposal.
