Thermal Pollution

Thermal pollution is excess heat that creates undesirable effects over long periods. The earth has a natural thermal cycle, but excessive temperature increases can be considered a rare type of pollution with long-term effects. A rise in the temperature in the ecosystem due to the release of excessive heat energy into the environment by artificial methods or natural disasters is called “Thermal Pollution”. Generally, manufacturing industries release a lot of heat energy which gets transferred to the air and water bodies.

Even vehicles that have combustion engines release a lot of heat energy as they require high temperatures to function. Carbon dioxide has the property of blocking heat from exiting the atmosphere and so the heat coming in from the sun is trapped in the atmosphere. Pollution in all its various forms causes immense damage covering all possible aspects that can be damaged. Therefore it is important to prevent all these forms to look forward to a greener cleaner and much more pleasant living experience.
