What is Understanding Thermal Pollution about?
Thermal pollution is the addition of excess heat to water bodies from sources like power plants, industries, and sewage. This warms the water and reduces oxygen levels, harming aquatic life. Major causes are nuclear power plants, coal plants, industrial effluents, and sewage. Heated water decreases oxygen and increases plant and bacteria growth, affecting metabolism and survival of fish and organisms. Control methods include cooling ponds, towers, and cogeneration to reuse or release waste heat.
