Final answer:

Thermal pollution reduces dissolved oxygen in water, impacting aquatic life and ecosystems.

Thermal pollution occurs when industrial plants release heated water back into water bodies, reducing the water's ability to hold dissolved oxygen, which is crucial for aquatic organisms. This decreased oxygen level can lead to fish kills and ecosystem disruptions due to the impact of elevated temperatures.
