How can factories reduce thermal pollution?
Thermal means 'temperature' and 'environment' means that which
surrounds you. Temperature would include the ambient heat of the
air, hot/cold surfaces and sources of thermal radiation.
Thermal pollution is usually caused by Man's production and use
of energy or by Man's urban conurbations. There is little that can
be done to reduce this form of pollution. However, thermal energy
radiates away very quickly and Man's direct contribution to the
heat/cold of the environment is minimal. It is greenhouse gasses
that are causing the biggest thermal pollution but this is an
indirect means of thermal pollution of the planet.
