Chemosphere
The term "Chemosphere" refers to a conceptual layer of chemicals in the environment, particularly focusing on the interactions and behaviors of various substances in the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere. It encompasses the study of how chemicals move, transform, and affect living organisms and ecosystems.
In environmental science, the Chemosphere is crucial for understanding pollution and its impacts. It includes the examination of pesticides, heavy metals, and volatile organic compounds as they travel through air, water, and soil. This knowledge helps in developing strategies for pollution control and environmental protection.
