| cancer (Any malignant cellular tumour including carcinoma and sarcoma. It encompasses a group of neoplastic diseases in which there is a transformation of normal body cells into malignant ones, probably involving some change in the genetic material of the cells, possibly as a result of faulty repair of damage to the cell caused by carcinogenic agents or ionizing radiation) |
càncer |
|
| cancer risk (The probability that exposure to some agent or substance will adversely transform cells to replicate and form a malignant tumor) |
risc de càncer |
|
| canid (Carnivorous mammal in the superfamily Canoidea, including dogs and their allies) |
cànid |
|
| canyon (A long deep, relatively narrow steep-sided valley confined between lofty and precipitous walls in a plateau or mountainous area, often with a stream at the bottom; similar to, but largest than, a gorge. It is characteristic of an arid or semiarid area (such as western U.S) where stream downcutting greatly exceeds weathering) |
canyó |
|
| car (A four-wheeled motor vehicle used for land transport, usually propelled by a gasoline or diesel internal combustion engine) |
cotxe |
|
| car park (Area of ground or a building where there is space for vehicles to be parked) |
aparcament |
|
| car tyre (A rubber ring placed over the rim of a wheel of a road vehicle to provide traction and reduce road shocks, especially a hollow inflated ring consisting of a reinforced outer casing enclosing an inner tube) |
pneumàtic de cotxe |
|
| carbohydrate (Any of the group of organic compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, including sugars, starches and celluloses) |
carbohidrats |
|
| carbon (A nonmetallic element existing in the three crystalline forms: graphite, diamond and buckminsterfullerene: occurring in carbon dioxide, coal, oil and all organic compounds) |
carboni |
|
| carbon cycle (The cycle of carbon in the biosphere, in which plants convert carbon dioxide to organic compounds that are consumed by plants and animals, and the carbon is returned to the biosphere in inorganic form by processes of respiration and decay) |
cicle del carbó |
|
| carbon dioxide (A colourless gas with a faint tingling smell and taste. Atmospheric carbon dioxide is the source of carbon for plants. As carbon dioxide is heavier than air and does not support combustion, it is used in fire extinguishers. It is a normal constituent of the atmosphere, relatively innocuous in itself but playing an important role in the greenhouse effect. It is produced during the combustion of fossil fuels when the carbon content of the fuels reacts with the oxygen during combustion. It is also produced when living organisms respire. It is essential for plant nutrition and in the ocean phytoplankton is capable of absorbing and releasing large quantities of the gas, CO2) |
diòxid de carboni |
|
| carbon dioxide tax (Compulsory charges levied on fuels to reduce the output of carbon dioxide (CO2), which is a colourless and odourless gas substance that is incombustible) |
impost sobre el CO2 |
|
| carbon monoxide (Colorless, odourless, tasteless, non-corrosive, highly poisonous gas of about the same density as that of air. Very flammable, burning in air with bright blue flame. Although each molecule of CO has one carbon atom and one oxygen atom, it has a shape similar to that of an oxygen molecule (two atoms of oxygen), which is important with regard to it's lethality, CO) |
monòxid de carboni |
|
| carbonate (A salt or ester of carbonic acid) |
carbonats |
|
| carcass disposal (The disposal of slaughtered animals, other dead animal bodies and animal body parts after removal of the offal products) |
eliminació de cadàvers |
|
| carcinogen (A substance that causes cancer in humans and animals) |
carcinogen |
|
| carcinogenicity (The ability or tendency of a substance or physical agent to cause or produce cancer) |
carcinogenicitat |
|
| carcinogenicity test (Test for assessing if a chemical or physical agent increases the risk of cancer. The three major ways of testing for carcinogens are animals tests, epidemiological studies and bacterial tests) |
