looking for a bit of guidance, half way threw my assignment and i got this question

list 3 risks linked with releasing pollutants in to the air by bonfires?

so far i have come up with -

carbon monoxide poising risk
potential damage to wildlife/envirnment

can any one assist with a bit of guidance?

thankyou for your time people

I've never had a question anything like that, I studied the 2330. Do not even know how to categorize it from your initial answer. Possibly then environmental, risks of spread of fire, endangering yourself and others, breaking laws etc.

Hi mate,

I am stuck on the exact same question, but may think you have just helped me and I have one that you find usefull to.

Carbon Monoxide poisoning I have to, but I have also put down the releasing of greenhouse gasses which can cause the the planet to heat up melting polar ice caps and the cause of rising sea levels.

Think im going to steal the wildlife one of of you.

good luck mate.

301 was easy dont you think?

This post is 3 weeks old so probably answered for the OP.
The questions is asking about Pollutants released to air.

Those generated by open bonfires can be:
Carbon Monoxide - risk of CO poisoning leading to suffocation
Carbon Dioxide - Risk of suffocation, increased risk of environmental atmospheric heat build up
Sulphur dioxide - Risk of acid rain and subsequent corrosion from sulphurous acid
Smoke / fly ash - Risk of lung damage from breathing smoke, risk of visual obscurement for passing traffic
Hydrogen Chloride (if plastics present) - Risk of acid rain production and corrosive fumes
Dioxins and furans - Risk of cell damage from free radical production, contamination of local environment.
(pollutants released to ground) Alkaline ash residues - risk of changing ground pH and contamination of water courses.

These are just the main pollutants released to air.

and if that don't get the bleeding microlight loonies, nothing short of a stinger missile will.
