What are some of the WORST things about coal fuel?

help me please help me

Explanation:

The burning of fossil fuels releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, increasing levels of CO2 and other gasses, trapping heat, and contributing to global climate change. Coal combustion releases the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrous oxide (N2O) during combustion. The major disadvantage of coal is its negative impact on the environment. Coal-burning energy plants are a major source of air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. In addition to carbon monoxide and heavy metals like mercury, the use of coal releases sulfur dioxide, a harmful substance linked to acid rain.

european union policies. the eu's long-term objective is to achieve levels of air quality that do not result in unacceptable impacts on, and risks to, human health and the environment. eu policies aim to reduce exposure to air pollution by reducing emissions and setting limits and target values for air quality.

the main environmental problems in western europe were: energy production/acid rain, nuclear power/waste, air pollution/climate, heavy metals, pesticides, water pollution, solid waste, and unforeseen accidents. many environmental problems are common to most european countries.
