Mr. P. Prasada Rao, Dr. M. Anji Reddy

Abstract :

 Thermal Power plants are the major source of generation of electricity for any developing country. The thermal power plant has serious impacts on land, soil, air and various social impacts the thermal power plant are also said to emit large amount of mercury and generate large quantity of fly ash which destroys the surrounding environment. These plants also consume a large amount of water. Due to these problems they require a proper Environmental impact assessment before commencement of the project which is not done judiciously in our country. Various mitigation measures for the control of pollution caused by thermal power plants along with some new technologies are discussed.
