Terms for subject Environment (24829 entries)
Schadstoffnorm pollution norm
Schadstoffquelle source of pollution
Schadstoffquelle source of pollution (The place, places or areas from where a pollutant is released into the atmosphere or water, or where noise is generated. A source can be classified as point source, i.e. a large individual generator of pollution, an area source, or a line source, e.g. vehicle emissions and noise)
Schadstoffremobilisierung pollutant remobilization
Schadstoffsenke pollution sink
Schadstoffsenke sink
Schadstoffsenke pollution sink (Vehicle for removal of a chemical or gas from the atmosphere-biosphere-ocean system, in which the substance is absorbed into a permanent or semi-permanent repository, or else transformed into another substance. A carbon sink, for example, might be the ocean (which absorbs and holds carbon from other parts of carbon cycle) or photosynthesis (which converts atmospheric carbon into plant material). Sinks are a fundamental factor in the ongoing balance which determines the concentration of every greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. If the sink is greater than the sources of a gas, its concentration in the atmosphere will decrease; if the source is greater than the sink, the concentration will increase)
Schadstofftransfer transfer of contaminants
Schadstofftyp pollution type
Schadstoffüberwachung pollutant monitoring (Periodic or continuous determination of the amount of pollutants present in the environment)
Schadstoffüberwachung pollutant monitoring
Schadstoffverbleib pollutant pathway
Schadstoffverbleib pollutant pathway (The retraceable route of a pollutant, from its source, through its interactions with the environment, and finally to its effect upon a target ecosystem or target organisms)
Schadstoffverhalten pollutant behaviour
Schadstoffverteilung pollutant distribution (Arrangement, or pattern, associated with the occurrence of pollutants over a geographical area)
Schadstoffverteilung distribution of contaminants
Schadstoffverteilung pollutant distribution
Schadstoffwanderung pollutant migration
Schadstoffwanderung pollutant migration (Uncontrolled movement, caused by percolation or other processes, of liquid or gaseous polluting materials from an original source area into other parts of an ecosystem)
Schadwirkung durch Verunreinigung pollution damage
