Carbon dioixide and carbon monoxide emissions are caused by some factors.

Carbon
monoxide emissions are caused by two factors. The factors are natural and human. Natural
factor that caused carbon monoxide emissions are metal oxidation in atmospheric, volcanic
activity and forest fire. While human factors are vehicles especially gasoline fuel users.
Based on the WHO report (1992), at least 90 % of the carbon monoxide in urbane air comes
from vehicle emmisions, the remainder comes from immovable sources such as coal and oil
burnig from industry and domestic waste incineration.
The source of carbon monoxide from inside room comes from the furnace of kitchen
and heating furnace. In some studies found levels of carbon monoxide is high enough in the
sedan vehicle and bus. Another source of carbon monoxide is a coal gas that containing more
5 % carbon monoxide are gas fired heating, gas refrigerators, gas stoves, and chymneys that
doesnt work well.
Similar to carbon monoxide gas emissions , carbon dioxide gas emissions also caused
by 2 factors that are natural and human. Natural factors that cause carbon dioxide emissions
are decomposition and respiration. While the human factor is from the burning of fossil fuels
such as coal, oil and natural gas. It produces 87 % of human carbon dioxide emissions. This
burning fuel releases the energy that will be converted to heat, electricity or power for
transportation. This energy is used in power plants, cars, planes, and industrial facilities. In
2011, the used of fossil fuels creates 33,2 billion tons of carbon dioxide emissions in the
world.
The other of human factor is from the transportation sector. Transportation sector is
the second largest source of human carbon dioxide emissions. Since the 1990s, transport
related emissions have grown rapidly, rising 45% in less than 2 decades. It is caused by
trading activity which needs transportation to transport commodity and people based fossil
fuels (gasoline,solar,kerosene, etc) produces 22 % of carbon dioxide gas emissions in 2010.
There are many effects of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide gas emissions.
Carbon monoxide gas emissions may cause a queasy, pale, poisoning, and short breathness
even death for people if they are exposed carbon monoxide for too long and curtain
concentration. Carbon monoxide gas in high amounts of high concentration may cause
disturbance to our ecosystem and environment, can cause death in animals and can affect the
ability of fixation of nitrogen by free bacteria especially those found in plant roots. Exposion
of carbon monoxide concern to material can make the its color blakish.
While carbon dioxide gas emissions can cause endangering health at concentration
more than 5000 ppm if exposed 2-8 hours, and greenhouse effect. Together with other
greenhouse gases such as methane, carbon dioxide absorbs infrared radiation that is reflected
earth ,thus increasing the energy deposited in the earth by the sun and increase atmospheric
temperature globally a few degrees and melt the polar ice so as to increase sea levels.
