✓
Answer
Burning of fossil fuels leads to the production of many acidic gases like sulphur-dioxide and nitrogen dioxides.
These gases causes acid rain which damages trees, plants and buildings, reduces fertility of soil, and poses danger to aquatic life.
The burning of fossil fuels puts a poisonous gas carbon monoxide in air.
It also produces large amount of $CO_2$ gas which damages the environment in the long run by increasing the greenhouse effect.
Also, burning of fossil fuels produces smoke and a lot of ash.
