Atmosphere
An atmosphere (from Greek ἀτμός (atmos), meaning 'vapour', and σφαῖρα (sphaira), meaning 'sphere') is a layer or a set of layers of gases surrounding a planet or other material body, that is held in place by the gravity of that body. An atmosphere is more likely to be retained if the gravity it is subject to is high and the temperature of the atmosphere is low.
Drinking water is a limited resource threatened by contamination with pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and other micropollutants. An EU-funded initiative investigated new technologies for the bioremediation of drinking water resources contaminated with micropollutants.
