What is the maximum temperature in Celsius for water waste or sewage discharge without requiring cooling, according to the NPC?

The correct answer is: 75

Water waste or sewage discharge without needing cooling must not exceed 75 degrees Celsius according to the National Pollution Control (NPC) guidelines. This is because higher temperatures can cause significant harm to the environment and public health. Option A, 60 degrees Celsius, is too low and would not adequately treat the waste. Option B, 65 degrees Celsius, is also too low and would not meet the NPC guidelines for safe discharge. Option C, 70 degrees Celsius, may appear close to the correct answer but it is still below the recommended limit by the NPC. Therefore, option D, 75 degrees Celsius, is the most suitable answer as it is the highest temperature allowed while still ensuring safe discharge and compliance with environmental regulations.
