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.
Thermal / Heat
Pollution
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
