The document discusses various forms of pollution caused by thermal power stations, including air, water, noise, and thermal pollution. It notes that the thermal power stations in Muzaffargarh, Pakistan use 10,000 tons of furnace oil daily without proper pollution treatment facilities. This causes higher temperatures and respiratory issues in surrounding areas. The Punjab Environment Protection Department plans to survey the area to assess pollution levels and may issue notices to stations found violating laws. The document also outlines various Pakistani environmental protection acts and regulations.

Pollution Pollutants
Introduction of Pollutants are
contaminants into a substances which
natural environment that directly or indirectly
causes instability, damage us or the
disorder, harm or environment
discomfort to the
ecosystem
i.e. physical systems
or living organisms.

The term thermal pollution has been
used to indicate the detrimental
effects of heated effluents
discharged by various power plants.

19. A Survey report of pollution in
Muzaffargarh
January 22, 2003 Wednesday Ziqa’ad 18, 1423
MULTAN, Jan 21: The Punjab Environment Protection Department (EPD) is all set to kick
off a survey in Muzaffargarh district from Wednesday (today) to gauge severity of the
pollution being caused there by thermal power stations. Briefing newsmen here on
Tuesday, Multan district environment officer Mian Khalid Mehmood, who is also
responsible to look after the environment-related issues of Muzaffargarh, said that thermal
power stations in Muzaffargarh used 10,000 tons of furnace oil daily. He said the thermal
power station, Muzaffargarh, and Kot Addu power company (Kapco) did not have any
facility to treat the fumes of furnace oil while AES, Lal Pir, though had the treatment plant,
its management seldom used it to lessen the intensity of pollutants emitted by thermal
power units. He said due to the pollution temperature in the surrounding areas of the
stations had been constantly rising by four degree Celsius as compared to the areas less-
affected by the furnace oil in the district. “Respiratory, skin and ENT diseases are common
in the affected areas besides the ruination of farmland,” he added. He said the survey was
being launched on public complaints and if proved guilty the thermal power stations would
be served notices under section 21 of the Environment Protection Act, 1997.

soil, coordinate environmental policies and programs, nationally and
internationally
