| Terms for subject Environment (7489 entries) |
| biological waste gas purification (Processes for removing impurities from waste gas based on the employing of microorganisms) | heitgaasi biopuhastus | |
| biological waste treatment (A generic term applied to processes that use microorganisms to decompose organic wastes either into water, carbon dioxide, and simple inorganic substances, such as aldehydes and acids. The purpose of biological waste treatment is to control either the environment for microorganisms so that their growth and activity are enhanced, and to provide a means for maintaining high concentrations of the microorganisms in contact with the wastes) | jäätmete biokäitlus | |
| biological wastewater treatment (Types of wastewater treatment in which biochemical or bacterial action is intensified to oxidize and stabilize the unstable organic matter present. Examples of this type of treatment use intermittent sand filters, trickling filters, and activated sludge processes and sludge digestion) | reovee bioloogiline puhastus | |
| biological water balance (The amount of ingoing and outgoing water in a system, which are assumed to be equal in the long term so that the water budget will balance) | organismi veebilanss | |
| biological weapon (Living organisms (or infective material derived from them) which are intended to cause disease or death in animals, plants, or man, and which depend for their effects on their ability to multiply in the person, animal or plant attacked. Various living organisms (for example, rickettsiae, viruses and fungi), as well as bacteria, can be used as weapons) | biorelv | |
| biology (A division of the natural sciences concerned with the study of life and living organisms) | bioloogia | |
| bioluminescence (The production of light of various colors by living organisms (e.g. some bacteria and fungi, glow-worms and many marine animals). Luminescence is produced by a biochemical reaction, which is catalyzed by an enzyme. In some animals the light is used as a mating signal; in others it may be a protective device. In deep-sea forms luminous organs may serve as lanterns) | bioluminestsents | |
| biomarker (A normal metabolite that, when present in abnormal concentrations in certain body fluids, can indicate the presence of a particular disease or toxicological condition) | füsioloogilis-biokeemiline tunnus | |
| biomass (Biomass refers strictly speaking to the total weight of all the living things in an ecosystem. However, it has come to refer to the amount of plant and crop material that could be produced in an ecosystem for making biofuels and other raw materials used in industry, for example) | elusaine hulk | |
| biomass energy (A renewable energy source that makes use of such biofuels as methane (biogas) generated by sewage, farm, industrial, or household organic waste materials. Other biofuels include trees grown in so-called "energy forests" or other plants, such as sugar cane, grown for their energy potential. Biomass energy relies on combustion and therefore produces carbon dioxide; its use would not, therefore, alleviate the greenhouse effect) | biomassist saadav energia | |
| biomethanation | metaankääritamine | |
| biomethanization | metaankääritamine | |
| biomonitoring | keskkonna bioseire | |
| biomonitoring | bioloogiline seire | |
| biomonitoring | bioseire | |
| biophysics (The hybrid science involving the application of physical principles and methods to study and explain the structures of living organisms and the mechanics of life processes) | biofüüsika | |
| bioreactor (A container, such as a large fermentation chamber, for growing living organisms that are used in the industrial production of substances such as pharmaceuticals, antibodies, or vaccines) | bioreaktor | |
| biorhythm (A cyclically recurring pattern of physiological states in an organism or organ, such as alpha rhythm or circadian rhythm; believed by some to affect physical and mental states and behaviour) | biorütm | |
| biosafety (The combination of knowledge, techniques and equipment used to manage or contain potentially infectious materials or biohazards in the laboratory environment, to reduce or prevent harm to laboratory workers, other persons and the environment) | bioohutus | |
| biosphere (That part of the Earth and atmosphere capable of supporting living organisms) | elukond |
