關注
In the United States, about 67% of total electricity generation in 2016 was produced from: fossil fuels (coal, natural gas, and petroleum), materials that come from plants (biomass), and municipal and industrial wastes. Emissions that result from combustion of these fuels include:
Carbon dioxide (CO2)
Carbon monoxide (CO)
Sulfur dioxide (SO2)
Nitrogen oxides (NOx)
Particulate matter (PM)
Heavy metals such as mercury
Nearly all combustion byproducts have negative effects on the environment and human health:
CO2 is a greenhouse gas, and it contributes to the greenhouse effect.
SO2 causes acid rain, which is harmful to plants and to animals that live in water. SO2 also worsens respiratory illnesses and heart diseases, particularly in children and the elderly.
NOx contribute to ground level ozone, which irritates and damages the lungs.
PM results in hazy conditions in cites and scenic areas, and coupled with ozone, contributes to asthma and chronic bronchitis, especially in children and the elderly. Very small, or fine PM, is also believed to cause emphysema and lung cancer.
Heavy metals such as mercury are hazardous to human and animal health.

懶人包寫鯊小，我笑了
但相較於十分先進而且高水準的監測系統，環保署對於大氣化學的基礎科學研究與空氣品質模式運作這方面就比較缺乏系統性的發展。並不是完全沒有，而是沒有一個正式的組織在管理與發展整個回饋運作的系統，從監測資料發現問題，進到實驗室發展基礎科學的機制到加入模式中，最後比較模式結果跟環境監測，並擬定未來管理計畫是一個良性的循環。
但可能因為資源缺乏，環保署目前把基礎研究跟模式發展都外包給學校跟工程顧問公司處理，因此缺乏系統性的整合。
