EC regulation on eco-management and audit Reglament comunitari sobre la gestió ecològica i l'auditoria
EC regulation on existing chemicals (Regulation designed to identify and control of risks deriving from existing chemicals. According to this program the main goal is the collection of basic information about existing chemicals including their uses and characteristics, environmental fate and pathways, toxicity and ecotoxicity) Reglament comunitari sobre substàncies químiques existents
EC Treaty tractat CE
echinoderm (Marine coelomate animals distinguished from all others by an internal skeleton composed of calcite plates, and a water-vascular system to serve the needs of locomotion, respiration, nutrition or perception) equinoderm
eco-balance (An eco-balance refers to the consumption of energy and resources and the pollution caused by the production cycle of a given product. The product is followed throughout its entire life cycle, from the extraction of the raw materials, manufacturing and use, right through to recycling and final handling of waste) equilibri ecològic
eco-paediatrics (Branch of medical science concerning the study and the therapy of children diseases caused by environmental factors) ecopediatria
ecocatastrophe (A sudden, widespread disaster or calamity causing extensive damage to the environment that threatens the quality of life for people living in the affected area or region, potentially leading to many deaths) ecocatàstrofe
ecodevelopment (1. Conservative development based on long term optimization of biosphere resources. 2. An approach to development through rational use of natural resources by means of appropriate technology and system of production which take into account and provide for the conservation of nature) desenvolupament ecològic
ecolabel (A mark, seal or written identification attached or affixed to products that provides specific ecological information allowing consumers to make comparisons with other similar products, or instructions on how to safely use or properly recycle or dispose of both products and packaging) etiqueta ecològica

ecological balance (The condition of equilibrium among the components of a natural community such that their relative numbers remain fairly constant and their ecosystem is stable.
