Examples of thermal pollution are; heat-induced oxygen depletion, aquatic population decline in nuclear power plant vicinity, sedimentary/thermal water pollution by stormwater runoff, deforestation-induced solar exposure, and localized thermal changes around turbines of hydropower plants.
Thermal pollution of water is a deteriorative process of unsustainable and unnatural temperature change. This article discusses thermal pollution definition
Effects of corrosion are; equipment inefficiency, structural failure/damage, health and safety risks, resource depletion, property devaluation, automobile, ship and aircraft deterioration, and physicochemical alteration.
Prevention of corrosion can be achieved through; appropriate storage, protective coating (painting/galvanization), greasing and oiling, alloying, and use of drying agents.
Causes of corrosion are; high humidity (and temperature), mechanical stress, acidic ambient media, uncoated and irregular metal surfaces, high conductivity and electrochemical potential.
