In what sense is thermal pollution less-worrisome kind of pollution than most types of chemical pollution?

Thermal pollution can be a significant type of pollution as it can change th biota using a water body. This is especially a concern in smaller streams where the warm water can make up a significant fraction of the total flow. In large water bodies the warm water can dissipate or float on the top (it's density is less) until cooled. The thermal flux from sunlight can easily impact large shallow bodies of water as much as man-made thermal pollution. Thermal pollution is of less concern than chemical pollutants as it cannot bioaccumulate in the food chain. However, fish killed by thermal shock are just as dead as thos
