Question

Differentiate between chemical pollution and thermal pollution.

Answer 1

Chemical pollution	Thermal pollution
When paint, textile, and dyestuff industry chemicals, as well as various acids and salt solutions, are discharged as industrial wastes, a huge number of industrial chemicals, including chemicals from the paint, textile, and dyestuff industries, enter the water.	Water is used extensively in certain industries, such as the iron and steel industry and several chemical factories, for a variety of purposes.
Metallic salt solutions of mercury and lead, for example, are chemical contaminants that have wreaked havoc on marine and plant life. Poisonous pesticides, such as fungicides and insecticides, are among the agricultural pollutants that can reach subterranean water through the soil.	The discharged waste water is turned heated after going through technical processes, and when it enters natural water streams, it promotes the growth of dangerous biological organisms.
Some common chemical pollutants are Formaldehyde, Mercury, Lead, and Asbestos.	Some common sources of thermal pollution are Nuclear Power Plant, Coal-fired power Plant, Industrial Effluents, Domestic Sewage.
