Table 1 shows information about the emissions of various pollutants from a coal-fired power plant and a straw biomass-fired power plant.

Table 1

Pollutant	Mass of pollutant emitted in mg per megajoule (MJ) of energy generated
	Coal power plant	Straw biomass power plant
Carbon monoxide	15	110
Nitrogen oxides	60	82
Particulate matter ( $PM_{2.5}$ )	2.0	28.5
Sulfur dioxide	125.0	15.2

Give two ways in which the data in Table 1 shows that the straw biomass power plant is more damaging to the environment than the coal power plant.
