Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
Carbon Dioxide is a greenhouse gas and is a dominant factor in global warming. As the temperature in the world rises the weather and environment changes, meaning more storms, floods, droughts and also the eradication of much wildlife.

Nitrogen Oxide (NOX)
Nitrogen Oxide, like CO2, is also a greenhouse gas. It is one of the main gases that causes smog (the haze that appears over cities). It effects asthma and contributes to 24,000 premature deaths in the UK every year. It can also cause acid rain.
