Abstract— In this review, effects of pollutants have been shown on environment those are produced by thermal power plants. These pollutants specially fly ash has several uses to reduce environment pollution and economic with social factor such as manufacturing bricks, cement, ceramics, road, pavements, embankments, etc., fly ash can be used as fertilizer, polymer products to make the system economic and minimize environmental, soil and water pollution. Here problems caused by thermal power plant pollution especially by coal based pollution because it is found in abundance and used widely in thermal power plants, have been discussed and studied, after that solutions also have been provided.
