and natural sources, like decaying vegetation and volcanoes (United States Environmental Protection Agency, 2012.) In America approximately 2/3 of the pollution that comes from the burning of fossil fuels are released into the air from the electric power that our generation relies so much on. When these gases mix with the gases that are already in the atmosphere, oxygen, water, and other chemicals multiple forms of acidic compounds are created and that results in a mild form of nitric acid and sulfuric

When these fuels burn they produce smoke and other by-products into the atmosphere. Although wind and rain occasionally wash away the smoke given off by power plants and automobiles, much still remains. Particulate matter (soot, ash, and other solids), usually consist of unburned hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide
