A review on effluents of Thermal Power Plants & its impacts on natural ecosystem with reference to coal and fly ash radiation

Thermal power plants are being used as energy source. But this thermal power plant emits several poisonous gases like, sulphur dioxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, etc. Contamination of air, water due to thermal power plants affecting local people. This thermal power plant has negative impact on environment. Discharge of thermal power plants is cause alteration in physicochemical parameters of water. Water temperature is significantly changing due to thermal plants effluents. Coal ashes properties dependent on the coal’s combustion conditions. Untreated coal power plant affects flora and fauna. Variation of water pH occurs due to effluents of thermal plants. Dust arises from fly ash seriously affects ground water contamination. Fly ash from thermal power plants pollutes soil. Volatiles organic compounds, nitrogen oxides, carbon mono oxide cause several diseases. This paper contains effluents of thermal power plants with coal and fly ash radiation and its impact on local ecosystem.
