| benthic division (The bottom of a body of water often occupied by benthos) | bentisk område | |
| benthic ecosystem (The interacting system of the biological communities located at the bottom of bodies of freshwater and saltwater and their non-living environmental surroundings) | bentisk økosystem | |
| benthos (Those organisms attached to, living on, in or near the sea bed, river bed or lake floor) | bentos | |
| benzene (A colorless, liquid, flammable, aromatic hydrocarbon used to manufacture styrene and phenol. Also known as benzol, C6H6) | benzen | |

The intensity of radiation energy produced in human tissue by a beta particle is a hundred times less than that produced by an alpha radiation particle, but it travels slightly deeper into tissue) | betastråling | |

| bioaccumulation (1. The accumulation of pollutants in living organisms by direct adsorption or through food chains. 2. Accumulation by an organism of materials that are not an essential component or nutrient of that organism. Usually it refers to the accumulation of metals, but it can apply to bioaccumulation of persistent synthetic substances such as organochlorine compounds. Many organisms, such as plants, fungi and bacteria, will accumulate metals when grown in solutions containing them. The process can be employed usefully as a purification process to remove toxic heavy metals from waste water and contaminated land) | bioakkumulering |
