UNIT 7. POLLUTION
Lesson 5: SKILL 2
1. Describe what you see in the pictures and talk about the relationship between them.
They are both related to thermal pollution
The first picture shows an algal bloom in coastal seawater.
The second picture shows the cooling towers from a power station.
Reporter: Does thermal pollution mean that bodies of water get hotter, Mr Nam?
Mr Nam: Not always. Sometimes the water becomes colder, and that’s also thermal pollution. In general, thermal pollution means a change in the water temperature. Reporter: That’s interesting! What causes it?
Mr Nam: Power stations are one factor. They use water in the nearby lakes or rivers to cool their equipment, which heats up the water. Then they dump the hot water back into its source.
Reporter: Are there any other causes?
Mr Nam: Yes. Thermal pollution may also happen due to the discharge of cold water from reservoirs into warm rivers.
Reporter: Thermal pollution can have dramatic effects. Right?
Mr Nam: Certainly. Most aquatic creatures need a certain temperature to survive. Warmer water has less oxygen in it, and this can harm fish populations. Besides, warmer water can cause harmful algal blooms. This can change the colour of the water like in the first picture and, more seriously, the algae poisons the fi sh. Reporter: What can we do, Mr Nam?
Mr Nam: In many places, they build cooling towers like in the second picture to cool down the water from power stations.
Reporter: Anything else we can do? …

Air pollution
occurs when the air contains gases, dust, fumes in harmful amounts.
-industrial waste
exhaust from cars and
