| hondar-arrisku | residual risk Remaining potential for harm to persons, property or the environment following all possible efforts to reduce predictable hazards |
| hondar-bero | waste heat Heat derived from the cooling process of electric power generating plants and which can cause thermal pollution of water courses, promoting algal bloom |
| hondar-beroaren erabilera | waste heat utilisation Waste heat applications include space heating and refrigeration in urban areas, thawing of ice-bound seaways, agricultural use to stimulate growth and to extend the growing season and in aquaculture to stimulate the growth of algae, shellfish, and other potential marine food sources |
| hondar-beroaren karga | waste heat charge The release of heat generated as a byproduct from industrial or power generation processes |
| hondar-duna | sand dune An accumulation of loose sand heaped up by the wind, commonly found along low-lying seashores above high-tide level, more rarely on the border of large lakes or river valleys, as well as in various desert regions, where there is abundant dry surface sand during some part of the year |
| hondar-efektu | carry-over effect Effect caused by the successive passages of polluting substances through the different organisms of a food chain |
| hondar-erauzketa | sand extraction The extraction of sand by mining for building purposes and for the extraction of heavy minerals such as rutile and zircon |
| hondar-gas | waste gas Any unusable aeriform fluid, or suspension of fine particles in air, given off by a manufacturing process or the burning of a substance in a enclosed area |
| hondar-gasak aireratze | waste gas emission The direct or indirect discharge of exhaust gas into the atmosphere |
| hondar-gasak gutxitze | waste gas reduction Reduction of the quantity of gaseous emissions in the atmosphere, from motorvehicles, industrial and heating plants, etc. by the adoption of clean technologies, the effectiveness of process operations, the improvement of fuel quality and the installment of chimney stacks high enough to ensure the dispersion of gases |
| hondar-gasen azterketa | waste gas examination Qualitative and quantitative analysis of exhaust gases emitted from vehicles, industrial plants, etc. in order to asses their composition |
| hondar-gasen desnitrifikazio | denitrification of waste gas Current methods for controlling NOx emissions in motor vehicles include retardation of spark timing, increasing the air/fuel ratio, injecting water into the cylinders, decreasing the compression ratio, and recirculating exhaust gas. For stationary sources, one abatement method is to use a lower NOx producing fuel or to modify the combustion process by injecting steam into the combustion chamber |
| hondar-gasen emisio | waste gas emission The direct or indirect discharge of exhaust gas into the atmosphere |
| hondar-gasen isurpen | waste gas emission The direct or indirect discharge of exhaust gas into the atmosphere |
| hondar-gasen sakabanatze | waste gas dispersion The process of breaking up and producing a diffuse distribution of the unusable aeriform fluid or suspension of fine particles in air resulting from a manufacturing process or the burning of a substance in an enclosed area |
| hondar-hondakin | residual waste Material left after any waste treatment process, including industrial, urban, agricultural, mining or other similar treatments |
| hondar-lohi | sewage sludge A semi-liquid waste with a solid concentration in excess of 2500 parts per million, obtained from the purification of municipal sewage |
| hondar-lohi | waste water sludge The removed materials resulting from physical, biological and chemical treatment of waste water |
| hondar-pestizida | residual pesticide A pesticide remaining in the environment for a fairly long time, continuing to be effective for days, weeks, and months |
| hondar-uren kantitate | residual amount of water Amount of water left in a water course after it has fed a hydropower plant in order to maintain a satisfactory dry-weather-flow for allowing the survival of biotic communities |
| uzta-hondar | crop waste Any unusable portion of plant matter left in a field after harvest |
