Detailed Solution

Thermal pollution occurs due to hot water discharge from thermal plants and other factories. This water contains traces of chemicals and has high temperatures, which adversely affects the water resources and aquatic life. Thermal pollution refers to a sudden unexpected increase in the temperature of a water body because of the discharge of hot water into it. Due to the changed oxygen levels, aquatic life may become extinct. Therm pollution can be reduced by correctly cleaning the water released by industry before it is discharged into water bodies. In addition, chemical waste put in the soil contaminates it.
