| Terms for subject Environment (6716 entries) |
| idrokarburi alifatiċi | aliphatic hydrocarbon (Hydrocarbons having an open chain of carbon atoms, whether normal or forked, saturated or unsaturated) | |
| idrokarburi aloġenati | halogenated hydrocarbon (One of a group of halogen derivatives of organic hydrogen and carbon containing compounds; the group includes monohalogen compounds (alkyl or aryl halides) and polyhalogen compounds that contain the same or different halogen atoms) | |
| idrokarburi aromatiċi | aromatic hydrocarbon (Hydrocarbons having an unsaturated ring containing alternating double and single bonds, especially containing a benzene ring) | |
| idrokarburi aromatiċi poliċikliċi | polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (Hydrocarbons containing two or more closed rings of atoms) | |
| idrokarburi klorati | chlorinated hydrocarbon (A class of persistent, broad-spectrum insecticides that linger in the environment and accumulate in the food chain. Among them are DDT, aldrin, dieldrin, heptachlor, chlordane, lindane, endrin, mirex, hexachloride, and toxaphene. In insects and other animals these compounds act primarily on the central nervous system. They also become concentrated in the fats of organisms and thus tend to produce fatty infiltration of the heart and fatty degeneration of the liver in vertebrates. In fishes they have the effect of preventing oxygen uptake, causing suffocation. They are also known to slow the rate of photosynthesis in plants. Their danger to the ecosystem resides in their rate stability and the fact that they are broad-spectrum poisons which are very mobile because of their propensity to stick to dust particles and evaporate with water into the atmosphere) | |
| idrokarburi klorofluworati parzjalment aloġenati | partially halogenated chlorofluorohydrocarbon (Hydrocarbons whose hydrogen atoms have been partially substituted with chlorine and fluorine. They are used in refrigeration, air conditioning, packaging, insulation, or as solvents and aerosol propellants. Because they are not destroyed in the lower atmosphere they drift into the upper atmosphere where their chlorine components destroy ozone) | |
| idrokarburi poliċikliċi | polycyclic hydrocarbon (Hydrocarbon molecule with two or more nuclei; examples are naphtalene, with two benzene rings side by side, or diphenyl, with two bond-connected benzene rings. Also known as polynuclear hydrocarbon) | |
| idroklorofluworokarbur | hydrochlorofluorocarbon | |
| idrokultura | hydroculture (Growing plants without soil but in sand or vermiculite or other granular material, using a liquid solution of nutrients to feed them) | |
| idrolisi | hydrolysis (1. Decomposition or alteration of a chemical substance by water. 2. In aqueous solutions of electrolytes, the reactions of cations with water to produce a weak base or of anions to produce a weak acid) | |
| idroloġija | hydrology (The science that treats the occurrence, circulation, distribution, and properties of the waters of the earth, and their reaction with the environment) | |
| idrometeoroloġija | hydrometeorology (That part of meteorology of direct concern to hydrologic problems, particularly to flood control, hydroelectric power, irrigation, and similar fields of engineering and water resource) | |
| idrometrija | hydrometry (The science and technology of measuring specific gravities, particularly of liquids) | |
| idrosfera | hydrosphere (The waters of the Earth, as distinguished from the rocks (lithosphere), living things (biosphere), and the air (atmosphere). Includes the waters of the ocean; rivers, lakes, and other bodies of surface water in liquid form on the continents; snow, ice, and glaciers; and liquid water, ice, and water vapour in both the unsaturated and saturated zones below the land surface. Included by some, but excluded by others, is water in the atmosphere , which includes water vapour, clouds, and all forms of precipitation while still in the atmosphere) | |
| idustrija tal-azzar | steel industry (Industry that deals with the processing of iron) | |
| iffrankar enerġetiku | energy conservation | |
| iffrankar enerġetiku | energy saving | |
| iffrankar ta' enerġija | energy saving (Avoiding wasting energy) | |
| iffullar żejjed | overcrowding (An excess of people gathered together in a confined space) | |
| iġjene | hygiene (The science that deals with the principles and practices of good health) |
