| habitat destruction (Destruction of wildlife habitats by increasing pressure for land by fast-growing human populations, pollution and over-exploitation. Whole species or populations of plants and animals have disappeared causing a loss of genetic resource that is not only regrettable from an aesthetic or philosophical point of view but also threatens man's food supply. Habitat loss takes several forms: outright loss of areas used by wild species; degradation, for example, from vegetation removal and erosion, which deprive native species of food, shelter, and breeding areas; and fragmentation, when native species are squeezed onto small patches of undisturbed land surrounded by areas cleared for agriculture and other purposes) | habitatødeleggelse | |
| haematology (The branch of medical science concerned with diseases of the blood) | hematologi | |
| hail (Precipitation in the form of balls or irregular lumps of ice, always produced by convective clouds, nearly always cumulonimbus) | hagl | |
| half-life (The time required for one-half the atoms of a given amount of radioactive material to undergo radioactive decay) | halveringstid | |
| haloform (A haloalkane, containing three halogen atoms, e.g. iodoform, CHI3; a haloform reaction is a reaction to produce haloforms from a ketone. For example, if propanone is treated with bleaching powder, the chlorinated ketone so formed reacts to form chloroform) | haloform | |

| halogenated compound (A substance containing halogen atoms) | halogenert forbindelse | |

| halogenated phenol (Halogen derivatives of phenol) | halogenert fenol | |
| halogenated pollutant (An organic compound bonded with one of the five halogen elements (astatine, bromine, chlorine, fluorine, and iodine). Several of these compounds contribute to reductions in the concentration of ozone in the stratosphere) | halogenert forurensende stoff | |
| halogenated terphenyl | halogenert terfenyl | |
