We are familiar with the words air pollution, water pollution and noise pollution. But thermal pollution is happening mainly because of industrialization though there are very rare natural causes of it.
What is thermal pollution?
Thermal pollution is defined as the sudden increase or decrease in the temperature of a natural body of water by human influence.
Main cause of thermal pollution is using the water as cooling agent in power, manufacturing and industrial plants. Other causes are soil erosion and deforestation. Natural causes like volcanoes and geothermal activities under ocean and seas also contribute though it is very rare.
Effects of thermal pollution
The serious effect is decrease in the dissolved oxygen level. This results in increase in toxins , loss of bio diversity, migration of aquatic life.
