The principle ways carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide are emitted is from the burning of fossil fuels. This can be in coal burning to produce electricity. The burning of gasoline and diesel in automobiles and trucks also produces carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. Aviation in all its forms burns Jet Kerosene which is also a major source.
Respiration in living things such animals and humans etc, produces carbon dioxide but NOT carbon monoxide in any appreciable quantity.

For carbon dioxide, CO2; for carbon monoxide, CO.
Is carbon dioxide monoxide an element or a compound?
carbon dioxide and monoxide are compounds. they are not elements.
What is the benefit of a catalytic converter changing carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide?
carbon dioxide can be reused and carbon monoxide cant.
How do carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide differ?
Carbon dioxide is Co2, while carbon monoxide is minus a oxygen atom and is CO. Carbon monoxide is also ten times more toxic than carbon dioxide.
Is Carbon Monoxide or Sulfur Dioxide more deadly?
carbon monoxide
State the four main pollutants emitted by an internal combustion engine?
Carbon Monoxide, Nitrogen Monoxide, Hydro Carbons, Nitrogen Dioxide
When you exhale do you breathe out carbon monoxide or carbon dioxide?
of course we breathe out carbon dioxide not carbon monoxide
Why is carbon monoxide emitted by a car exhaust?
Carbon dioxide is one element given off after burning of fuels(hydr-carbons) in an oxygen atmosphere. The buring inside the piston of a car's engine does not completely burn all the carbon so carbon monoxide is produced in addition to carbon dioxide.
What is the chemical formula for carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide?
For carbon dioxide, CO2; for carbon monoxide, CO.
Differentiate between carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide?
Carbon dioxide is CO2. There is no such chemical as carbon mono dioxide, but carbon monoxide is CO.
How does molecule of carbon monoxide differ from a molecule of carbon dioxide?
Carbon monoxide is CO and carbon dioxide is CO2.
Is carbon dioxide monoxide an element or a compound?
carbon dioxide and monoxide are compounds. they are not elements.
Is carbon monoxide c02?
no that is carbon dioxide,carbon monoxide is CO
Does plants change carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide?
plants do not change carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide. they, on the other hand, convert carbon dioxide in to oxygen.
