Apparently from what I found while searching Auraria Library, air pollution is the only pollution that contributes to global warming because of the greenhouse gas emissions.
However in one of the articles I found, there were several types of sources listed that might cause the greenhouse gas emissions as they tend to be effective at trapping the heat in the atmosphere.
- Carbon Dioxide:
- It can be released by fossil fuel, electricity production, and transportations.
- Methane:
- It can be released by coal mining, landfills, natural gas and petroleum production, as well as wastewater treatment.
- Nitrous Oxide:
- It is contained in the soil but can be released by the agricultural activities
- Fluorinated Gases:
- It can be emitted by the industrial activities, including the production of aluminum
