Question

Which fuel is used in thermal power plant? Write any two problems associated with this type of power generation.

✓

Answer

Fuel Used: Coal is used as the fuel in thermal power plants.
Problem 1 (Air Pollution) : Combustion of coal releases gases like carbon dioxide, sulfur oxide, and nitrogen oxide, which are harmful to health and lead to global warming.
Problem 2 (Health Issues) : Along with gases, soot particles (particulate matter) are released into the air, causing serious respiratory problems like asthma.
