Planes contribute to pollution primarily through the emission of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide (CO2), during combustion of aviation fuel. Additionally, they release nitrogen oxides (NOx), which can lead to the formation of ozone, a potent greenhouse gas, in the upper atmosphere. The particulate matter and water vapor from aircraft engines can also contribute to atmospheric changes, such as contrail formation, which can further affect climate by trapping heat. Overall, aviation is a significant source of carbon emissions, impacting air quality and contributing to climate change.
