Question

Which of the following is the main discharge from coal based power plants (thermal plants)?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

• Carbon dioxide is the most common gas released from a thermal power station.
• These facilities constitute a major factor in the rising amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere globally.
• Several airborne poisons and pollutants are released when coal is burned.
• Mercury, lead, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, particulates, and several other heavy metals are among them.
• The United States depends increasingly on coal for the creation of power, making it a significant source of energy for the country.
• In contrast, the burning of coal releases more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere per unit of heat energy than the combustion of other fossil fuels.
