MILLIONS OF LITRES DAILY OF HOT CHLORINATED WATER THAT ALSO CONTAINS OTHER CHEMICAL DISCHARGE BACK TO SEA

"But without exception, the major coal-fired plants in Manjun, Perak, Kapar, Klang and Tanjung Pin in Johor simply do the easiest thing - draw water straight from the sea, treat it with chlorine before pumping it into condenser pipes to cool the super-heated turbines and discharge back to sea millions of litres daily of hot chlorinated water that also contains other chemical residues scrubbed from the flue gas,"

"This is why the practice is a matter of very grave concern to us and it should be to Jumat Idris, too. TNB and SESB's proposed coal-fired plant at Kg Sinabut will follow the same practice in Peninsular Malaysia and pour huge volumes of toxic waste water into Darval Bay which has been identified by dozens of international and Malaysian marine scientists since 2001 as a Rank One Priority Conservation Area, meaning the best of the richest marine ecosystem within the million sq km Sulu Sulawesi Marine Ecoregion,"
