The answer is depending on what fuel power plant use and their waste treatment system.
Coal fire would yield CO2, SOx, NOx, dust particulates and Slack. SOx can be treated using scrubber. Particulates and NOx can be prevent using correct Air-Fuel ratio and trapped out using scrubber.
Gas Fire would yield every pollution like Coal except in lower amount of SOx and without Slack.
Hydro power may not yield any pollutants at all.
Temperature can be considered a pollution if it cause ecological damage. Power plant may cause water pollution if they discharge hot water without pre-cool. Same amount of water and temperature may not be considered a pollutant if the river stream is large enough.

What pollutants are released from fossil fuel combustion?
Carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides are the pollutants released from fossil fuel combustion.
How many power stations does oil fuel in the uk?
less than 50 commercial power stations of more than 1 MW.
List four costs of using fossil fuels in thermal power stations?
Carbon Dioxide, particular matter, mercury and radioactive trace elements are released/emitted from the fossil fuel thermal power stations and cause damage to the environment. Also, paying for the fuel, clean up and remediation of pollution-prevention. :)
Is secondary pollutants more harmful than primary pollutants?
Primary air pollutants are emitted directly into atmosphere from a process such as exhaust from a engine, industries, volcanic eruption Secondary air pollution are formed in the air when primary pollutants interact.
What atmospheric pollutants are made by power stations?
Mostly sulphur and carbon dioxode comes out of a power station that burns fossil fuels. But there are some other gases
Which pollutants can be removed from the chimney gases of factories and power stations by treatment with calcium carbonate?
Sulphur dioxide
How do you reduce air pollution from power stations?
Air pollution from power stations can be reduced by ensuring that the effluents are purified before being released into the air. Carbon emissions from a coal station can go through a cleaning process to remove heavy metals from the smog before it is released.
Where are solar power stations in NZ?
there are no solar power stations in new zealand
When was Cottam power stations created?

When was Stella power stations created?
Stella power stations was created in 1954.
When did Stella power stations end?
Stella power stations ended in 1991.
When was Rugeley power stations created?
Rugeley power stations was created in 1963.
Does wind power produce pollutants?
No, the collection of wind energy into usable electricity does not release any pollutants.
What is the purpose to air monitoring stations?
The purpose of air monitoring stations is to measure and monitor the quality of air in a specific area. These stations collect data on various pollutants and provide information on air quality to the public and relevant authorities. The data from these stations helps in understanding the presence and levels of pollutants, identifying sources of pollution, and implementing measures to improve air quality and protect public health.
Are nuclear power stations more efficient than coal power stations?
yes
How many hydroelectric power stations are there in Britain?
There are hundreds of hydroelectric power stations in England.
