What is the major drawback of fuel combustion?
The major drawback of fuel combustion is that it produces emissions and pollutants that can have negative environmental and health impacts. Carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, contributes to climate change by trapping heat in the atmosphere. Other pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM) can contribute to air pollution and respiratory problems.
