Although thermal power plants are essential to the world's energy supply, they have a big impact on local economics and public health. Hazardous pollutants such sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and fine particulate matter are released during their operations, which can cause neurological impairments, cardiovascular problems, and respiratory illnesses. Furthermore, incorrect industrial waste disposal contaminates water sources, increasing the dangers to human health. Economically speaking, thermal power plants ensure a steady supply of electricity while fostering industrial expansion and employment development. However, these advantages are frequently outweighed by pollution-driven agricultural decline, growing healthcare expenses, and environmental deterioration, which has a detrimental impact on nearby populations. To reduce harm while preserving economic stability, addressing these issues calls for a move toward cleaner technology, more stringent laws, and sustainable energy sources.
