| chemical addition Chemical reaction in which one or more of the double bonds or triple bonds in an unsaturated compound is converted to a single bond by the addition of other atoms or groups | tilsetning |
| chemical analysis The complex of operations aiming to determine the kinds of constituents of a given substance | kjemisk analyse |
| chemical composition The nature and proportions of the elements comprising a chemical compound | kjemisk sammensetning |
| chemical contamination The addition or presence of chemicals to, or in, another substance to such a degree as to render it unfit for its intended purpose. Also refers to the result(s) of such an addition or presence | kjemisk kontaminering |
| chemical corrosivity The tendency of a metal to wear away another by chemical attack | kjemisk korrosivitet |
| chemical decontamination Removal of chemical substances from a building, a watercourse, a person's clothes, etc. | kjemisk dekontaminering |
| chemical degradation The act or process of simplifying or breaking down a molecule into smaller parts, either naturally or artificially | kjemisk nedbryting |
| chemical element elements and their compounds ; A substance made up of atoms with the same atomic number; common examples are hydrogen, gold, and iron | grunnstoff |
| chemical engineering The branch of engineering concerned with industrial manufacture of chemical products. It is a discipline in which the principles of mathematical, physical and natural sciences are used to solve problems in applied chemistry. Chemical engineers design, develop, and optimise processes and plants, operate them, manage personnel and capital, and conduct research necessary for new developments. Through their efforts, new petroleum products, plastics, agricultural chemicals, house-hold products, pharmaceuticals, electronic and advanced materials, photographic materials, chemical and biological compounds, various food and other products evolve | kjemiteknikk |
| chemical fallout The sedimentation of chemical substances accumulated in the atmosphere as a result of industrial emissions | kjemisk nedfall |
| chemical fertiliser Fertilizer manufactured from chemicals; excessive use of them can cause pollution, when all the chemicals are not taken up by the plants and the excess is leached out of the soil into rivers and may cause algal bloom | kunstgjødsel |
| chemical in the environment The presence in the environment of any solid, liquid or gaseous material discharged from a process and that may pose substantial hazard to human health and the environment | kjemikalie i miljøet |
| chemical industry Industry related with the production of chemical compounds. The chemical processing industry has a variety of special pollution problems due to the vast number of products manufactured. The treatment processes combine processing, concentration, separation, extraction, by-product recovery, destruction, and reduction in concentration. The wastes may originate from solvent extraction, acid and caustic wastes, overflows, spills, mechanical loss, etc. | kjemisk industri |
| chemical installation Building where chemicals are manufactured | kjemisk anlegg |
| chemical measurement of pollution The quantitative determination of the presence, extent or type of pollutant substances in the environment by studying the actions or reactions of known chemicals to those pollutants | kjemisk måling av forurensning |
| chemical oceanography | kjemisk oseanografi |
| chemical oxygen demand The quantity of oxygen used in biological and non-biological oxidation of materials in water; a measure of water quality | kjemisk oksygenforbruk |
| chemical pest control Control of plants and animals classified as pests by means of chemical compounds | kjemisk bekjemping |
| chemical plant Plants where basic raw materials are chemically converted into a variety of products | kjemisk fabrikk |
| chemical policy | kjemipolitikk |
| chemical pollutant | forurensende kjemisk stoff |
| chemical pollution Pollution caused by substances of chemical nature, including chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls, metals as mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic, etc. | kjemisk forurensning |
| chemical process The particular method of manufacturing or making a chemical usually involving a number of steps or operations | kjemisk prosess |
| chemical product A substance characterized by definite molecular composition | kjemisk produkt |
| chemical property Properties of a substance depending on the arrangement of the atoms in the molecule, e.g. bio-availability, degradability, persistence, etc. | kjemisk egenskap |
| chemical reaction A change in which a substance is transformed into one or more new substances | kjemisk reaksjon |
| chemical reduction Chemical reaction in which an element gains an electron | reduksjon |
| chemical risk Probability of harm to human health, property or the environment posed by contact with any substance of a defined molecular composition | kjemisk risiko |
| chemical structure The arrangement of atoms in a molecule of a chemical compound | kjemisk struktur |
| chemical treatment Processes that alter the chemical structure of the constituents of the waste to produce either an innocuous or a less hazardous material. Chemical processes are attractive because they produce minimal air emissions, they can often be carried out on the site of the waste generator, and some processes can be designed and constructed as mobile units | kjemisk behandling |
| chemical treatment of waste | kjemisk avfallsbehandling |
| chemical waste Any by-product of a chemical process, including manufacturing processes. Often this by-product is considered a toxic or polluting substance | kjemisk avfall |
| chemical weapon Chemical agents of warfare include all gaseous, liquid or solid chemical substances which might be employed because of their direct toxic effects on man and animals. Chemical weapons also include the chemical's precursors, the munitions and devices designed to deliver them, and any equipment specifically designed for their use in warfare. Nerve agents (chemicals of the same family as organophosphorous insecticides) are the most lethal of the classical chemical warfare agents, killing by poisoning the nervous system and disrupting bodily functions. Other chemical weapons include blister agents, vesicants, choking agents, etc. | kjemisk våpen |
| chemicals act | kjemikalielov |
| EC regulation on existing chemicals Regulation designed to identify and control of risks deriving from existing chemicals. According to this program the main goal is the collection of basic information about existing chemicals including their uses and characteristics, environmental fate and pathways, toxicity and ecotoxicity | EU-forordning for eksisterende kjemikalier |
| environmental chemicals legislation | miljøkjemikalielovgivning |
| existing chemical Chemical products existing before 18-09-1981, chemicals traded or introduced in the EC defore 18.09.1981 concerning Chemikaliengesetz | eksisterende kjemikalie |
| hazardous chemical export Transporting substances capable of producing adverse health effects, fires or explosions to other countries or areas for the conduct of foreign trade | eksport av farlige kjemikalier |
| household chemical No definition needed | husholdningskjemikalie |
| speciality chemical Various fine chemical products like glue, adhesives, resins, rubber, plastic compounds, selective herbicide, etc. | spesialkjemikalie |
| testing of chemicals The determination of the efficacy and the toxicity of chemical products | kjemikalieprøving |
