Thermal / Heat

Pollution

Is the act of altering the temperature of a natural

water body, which may be a river, lake or ocean

environment. This condition chiefly arises from the waste

heat generated by an industrial process.

Major Sources of Thermal pollution

Fossil-fueled electric power plantsNuclear-fueled electric power-generating facilitiesCooling operations associated with industrial manufacturing

Earth’s surface temperatureCarbon Dioxide as product of combustion adding to the greenhouse gasesHot water vapor

Effects of Thermal Pollution

Ecological imbalance resulting in major fish

kills near the discharge source

Accelerates chemical-biological

processes

Decreases the ability of the water to hold dissolved oxygen

Thermal changes affect the aquatic

system by limiting or changing the type of

fish that grow and reproduce in water

Contributes to greenhouse effect

that results in global warming
