The main pollutants of thermal power plants are wastewater, waste gas, waste residues, noise, radiation and other pollution.
Exhaust gases are combustion gases containing sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides produced after the combustion of coal. At present, all thermal power plants have installed flue gas purification devices and can meet emission standards. According to the diffusion model, there is practically no impact beyond 100 meters from the thermal power plant.
Wastewater, waste residues and noise, in accordance with the environmental impact assessment standards before the construction of thermal power plants, have all been recovered and will not affect people.
The current main impact is that the purified combustion gases of thermal power plants contain a large amount of water vapor, which causes pollutionvisual for people.
