| sabor de l'aigua |
water taste (Taste in water can be caused by foreign matter, such as organic compounds, inorganic salts or dissolved gases. These materials may come from domestic, agricultural or natural sources. Some substances found naturally in groundwater, while not necessarily harmful, may impart a disagreeable taste or undesirable property to the water. Magnesium sulphate, sodium sulphate, and sodium chloride are but a few of these. Acceptable waters should be free from any objectionable taste at point of use) |
|
| sabó |
soap (A cleansing agent, manufactured in bars, granules, flakes, or liquid form, made from a mixture of the sodium salts of various fatty acids of natural oils and fats) |
|
| sacrifici d'animals |
slaughtering of animals (Killing of animals for food) |
|
| sal per al desglaç de carreteres |
road salt (Salt used against the formation of ice on roads; when excess salt washes off the roads, it can poison roadside vegetation or raise salt concentrations in streams and reserves of underground water. It also accelerates the deterioration of concrete and metal) |
|
| sal química |
salt (The reaction product when a metal displaces the hydrogen of an acid) |
|
| sala de pintura |
paint room (A portion of space within a commercial establishment that is used for applying coloring substances to certain products or materials, providing a decorative or protective coating) |
|
| salamandra |
salamander (Any of various urodele amphibians, such as Salamandra salamandra of central and S Europe. They are typically terrestrial, have an elongated body, and only return to water to breed) |
|
| salina |
salina (A place where crystalline salt deposits are formed or found, such as a salt flat or pan, a salada, or a salt lick) |
|
| salinitat de l'aigua |
water salinity (The degree of dissolved salts in water measured by weight in parts per thousand) |
|
| salinitat del sòl |
soil salinity (Measurement of the quantity of mineral salts found in a soil. Many semi-arid and arid areas are naturally salty. By definition they are areas of substantial water deficit where evapotranspiration exceeds precipitation. Thus, whereas in humid areas there is sufficient water to percolate through the soil and to leach soluble materials from the soil and the rocks into the rivers and hence into the sea, in deserts this is not the case. Salts therefore tend to accumulate) |
|
| salinització |
salination (The accumulation of soluble salts by evaporation of the waters that bore them to the soil zone, in a soil of an arid, poorly drained region) |
|
| salinització d'aigües |
water salination (Process by which water becomes more salty, found especially in hot countries where irrigation is practised) |
|
| salinització del sòl |
soil salination (The accumulation of soluble mineral salts near the surface of soil, usually caused by the capillary flow of water from saline ground water. Where the rate of surface evaporation is high, irrigation can exacerbate the problem by moistening the soil and causing water to be drawn from deeper levels as water evaporates from the surface. The evaporation of pure water leaves the salts behind, allowing them to accumulate, and they can reach concentrations that are toxic to plants, thus sterilizing the land) |
|
| salmonel·la |
salmonella (General name for a family of microorganisms, one of the largest groups of bacteria, that includes those most frequently implicated in food poisoning and gastroenteritis. Unhygienic handling and inadequate cooking of poultry and meat, improper storage of cold meats and, more recently, contamination of battery-reared hen eggs, are the most common sources of salmonella infections) |
|
| salut |
health (A state of dynamic equilibrium between an organism and its environment in which all functions of mind and body are normal) |
|
| salut ambiental |
environmental health (The art and science of the protection of good health, the prevention of disease and injury through the control of positive environmental factors, and the reduction of potential physical, biological, chemical and radiological hazards) |
|
| salut humana |
human health (The avoidance of disease and injury and the promotion of normalcy through efficient use of the environment, a properly functioning society, and an inner sense of well-being) |
|
| salut ocupacional |
occupational health care |
|
| salut ocupacional |
occupational health (An area of statutory duty imposed on employers and employees in most countries, for the protection of the workforce from occupational diseases and stresses and physical hazards through adequate planning, ventilation, lighting, safeguards, safety and emergency procedures, routine inspections, monitoring, personal protection, etc.) |
|
| salut pública |
public health (The discipline in health science that, at the level of the community or the public, aims at promoting prevention of disease, sanitary living, laws, practices and a healthier environment) |
