lämpösaasteen
Lämpösaaste, also known as thermal pollution, refers to the degradation of water quality by any process that changes ambient water temperature. This can have detrimental effects on aquatic ecosystems. The most common cause of thermal pollution is the use of water as a coolant by power plants and industrial manufacturers.
In power plants, water is drawn from a natural source, like a river or lake, and then
The elevated temperatures of discharged water can significantly impact aquatic life. Fish and other organisms are
Furthermore, thermal pollution can alter the composition of aquatic ecosystems. Species that are more tolerant of
Efforts to mitigate thermal pollution include using cooling towers or ponds to lower the temperature of discharged
