Effects of geothermal effluents on aquatic ecosystems
Abstract The use of geothermal energy for electrical generation and a variety of other purposes requires the handling and disposal of large volumes of geothermal fluids. These fluids contain constituents such as dissolved ammonia, hydrogen sulfide gas, and trace elements. Facilities in the United States are not expected to routinely discharge large volumes of toxic geothermal fluids. However, chronic effects on aquatic ecosystems are possible at concentrations where acute toxicity would be neither expected nor observed. Also, some trace elements may accumulate to hazardous levels in ecosystems, even when released at nontoxic concentrations.
