Which of the following is NOT a major source of air pollution from energy production?

  1. Coal-fired power plants

  2. Natural gas power plants

  3. Wind turbines

  4. Solar panels

Show answer
Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Wind turbines and solar panels do not produce any emissions, so they are not a source of air pollution.

What is the primary pollutant emitted by coal-fired power plants?

  1. Carbon dioxide

  2. Sulfur dioxide

  3. Nitrogen oxides

  4. Particulate matter

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Sulfur dioxide is a major pollutant emitted by coal-fired power plants because coal contains sulfur impurities.
