| Terms for subject Environment (6936 entries) |
| karta wędkarska | fishing licence (Official permission granted to individuals or commercial enterprises allowing and regulating by time, location, species, size or amount the fish that can be caught from rivers, lakes or ocean waters within a particular jurisdiction) | |
| kartografia | cartography (The making of maps and charts for the purpose of visualizing spatial distributions over various areas of the earth) | |
| kartowanie | mapping | |
| kartowanie porostów | mapping of lichens (Maps of lichens distribution indicating air quality. Fruticose lichens (with branched structures well above the surface) are more susceptible to SO2 damage than foliose lichens (whose leaflike thallus lies nearly flat on surface) and both in turn are more susceptible than crustose lichens (which embed their tissue in the cracks of bark, soil, or rocks). The use of morphological lichen types as indicators of air pollution concentrations is well developed) | |
| kasztan jadalny | chestnut (Any north temperate fagaceous tree of the genus Castanea, such as Castanea sativa, which produce flowers in long catkins and nuts in a prickly bur) | |
| katalityczny konwentor | catalytic converter (Catalytic converters are designed to clean up the exhaust fumes from petrol-driven vehicles, which are otherwise the major threat to air quality standards in congested urban streets and on motorways. Converters remove carbon monoxide, the unburned hydrocarbons and the oxides of nitrogen. These compounds are damaging to human health and the environment in a variety of ways. The converter is attached to the vehicle' s exhaust near the engine. Exhaust gases pass through the cellular ceramic substrate, a honeycomb-like filter. While compact, the intricate honeycomb structure provides a surface area of 23.000 square metres. This is coated with a thin layer of platinum, palladium and rhodium metals, which act as catalysts that simulate a reaction to changes in the chemical composition of the gases. Platinum and palladium convert hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide into carbon dioxide and water vapour. Rhodium changes nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons into nitrogen and water, which are harmless) | |
| kataliza | catalysis | |
| katastrofa | catastrophe | |
| katastrofa | disaster | |
| katastrofa ekologiczna | 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) | |
| katastrofa ekologiczna | environmental accident (An unexpected occurrence, failure or loss, with the potential for harming the ecosystem or natural resources) | |
| katastrofa geologiczna | geological disaster (Disasters caused by movements and deformation of the earth's crust) | |
| katastrofa hydrologiczna | hydrologic disaster (Violent, sudden and destructive change either in the quality of the earth's water or in the distribution or movement of water on land, below the surface or in the atmosphere) | |
| katastrofa meteorologiczna | meteorological disaster (Violent, sudden and destructive change to the environment related to, produced by, or affecting the earth's atmosphere, especially the weather-forming processes) | |
| katastrofa naturalna | natural disaster | |
| katastrofa spowodowana przez człowieka | manmade disaster | |
| katastrofa wywołana przez człowieka | human-made disaster (Violent, sudden and destructive change in the environment caused by man) | |
| katastrofalny pożar | catastrophic fire | |
| katastrofalny rozlew ropy | oil disaster (The disaster caused by the dumping and accidental spillage of oil into waterways from ships and land-based or offshore installations. Oil pollution may destroy or damage aquatic life and wildlife such as birds, contaminate water supplies and create fire hazards) | |
| katastrofy naturalno-techniczne | Natural Hazard Triggering Technological Disasters |
