Abstract

The generation of electricity and consumption of energy in general, result adverse effects on the environment. Barapukuria is the only natural coalmine reserve in Bangladesh that is currently in operation. Barapukuria thermal power plant produces electricity from the reserved coal. The coal available in Bangladesh is of very high quality, with low ash content and high calorific value. Coal quality plays a great role in environmental impact as well as gaseous emissions. Source of water is the major problem for the Barapukuria thermal power plant and there is a poor disposal system of the waste water. By collecting the secondary data from the authority of the Barapukuria thermal power plant, this study was accomplished at Barapukuria thermal power plant to evaluate the pollutant (SO2) emission rate and its impact on human health due to air pollution. In this study attempts were made to find out the major environmental impacts to Barapukuria thermal power plant and finally showed the possible recommendations to reduce the impacts.
