THERMAL POLLUTION
{"Image DocumentName": "THERMAL POLLUTION", "Image ImageDescription": "Industrial thermal pollution is a problem for our waterways\u2014fish and other organisms adapted to a particular temperature range can be killed from thermal shock, and the extra heat may disrupt spawning or kill young fish. Warmer water temperatures lower the dissolved oxygen content of the water. That s a double-whammy to aquatic organisms, since the warmer water also causes them to increase their respiration rates and consume oxygen faster. Global warming is imparting extra heat to our oceans, which have absorbed about 20 times as much heat as the atmosphere over the past half-century.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
