differences between chemical pollution and thermal polution
Answers
Explanation:
Chemical pollutants include — Metallic salt solutions of mercury & lead which cause heavy devastation of marine & plant life.
Thermal pollution — Certain industries such as the iron & steel industry & numerous chemical plants use large amounts of water for varied functions.
Answer:
Thermal pollution, sometimes called "thermal enrichment," is the degradation of water quality by any process that changes ambient water temperature. Thermal pollution is the rise or fall in the temperature of a natural body of water caused by human influence. Thermal pollution, unlike chemical pollution, results in a change in the physical properties of water. A common cause of thermal pollution is the use of water as a coolant by power plants and industrial manufacturers. Urban runoff—stormwater discharged to surface waters from rooftops, roads and parking lots—and reservoirs can also be a source of thermal pollution.[4] Thermal pollution can also be caused by the release of very cold water from the base of reservoirs into warmer rivers
