TYPES OF HARMFUL IMPACTS OF CHEMICAL PRODUCTION ON THE BIOSPHERE
Keywords:
air pollution, biodiversity loss, chemical industry, soil degradation, water contaminationAbstract
Chemical production is one of the fastest-growing industrial sectors, providing essential materials for agriculture, manufacturing, and daily life. However, its processes often release pollutants into the air, water, and soil, posing risks to ecosystems and human health. This paper examines the main types of harmful impacts of chemical production on the biosphere, focusing on air pollution, water contamination, soil degradation, and biodiversity loss. Using a qualitative literature review and environmental data analysis, the study identifies key pollutant categories, their mechanisms of impact, and potential mitigation strategies. The findings highlight the need for stricter environmental regulations and the integration of cleaner technologies to minimize ecological damage.
