Coal combustion produces more CO\u2082 per unit of energy than other fossil fuels like natural gas or oil, making it a significant contributor to the rise in atmospheric CO\u2082 levels. In addition to CO\u2082, coal burning releases other pollutants such as sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter, which can harm air quality and human health. Addressing CO\u2082 emissions from coal is a key focus in efforts to mitigate climate change.","mcq_options":[{"right":"yes","answer":"Carbon dioxide emissions"},{"right":"no","answer":"Water consumption"},{"right":"no","answer":"Air quality deterioration"},{"right":"no","answer":"Habitat destruction"}],"multi_answers":"no","subject_terms":[{"id":1846,"title":"Geography of the United States","slug":"geography-of-the-united-states"}],"topic_terms":[{"id":1757,"title":"Energy Resources of the United States","slug":"energy-resources-of-the-united-states"},{"id":1756,"title":"Natural Resources in the United States","slug":"natural-resources-in-the-united-states"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mcq\/11231","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mcq"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/mcq"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3502"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11231"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11231"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic?post=11231"},{"taxonomy":"subject","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/subject?post=11231"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
