| access to information (The ability, right and permission to approach and use, or the general availability of resources that convey knowledge) | juurdepääs teabele | |
| access to the courts (The right of citizens to access to the organs of the governments where justice is administered) | juurdepääs õigusmõistmisele | |
| access to the sea | juurdepääs merele | |
| accident (An unexpected occurrence, failure or loss with the potential for harming human life, property or the environment) | õnnetus | |
| accident source (The cause or origin of an unexpected occurrence, failure or loss with the potential for harming human life, property or the environment) | õnnetusallikas | |
| accidental release of organisms (Genetically engineered organisms that are released in the environment by mistake; once released they may exhibit some previously unknown pathogenicity, might take over from some naturally occurring bacteria (possibly having other positive functions which thus are lost) or pass on some unwanted trait to such indigenous bacteria. There is also concern that an uncontrolled genetic mutation could produce a form with hazardous consequences for the environment) | organismide ettekavatsemata vabakslaskmine | |
| accounting (Method of recording all the transactions affecting the financial condition of a business or organization) | arvepidamine | |
| accounting system (The system of setting up, maintaining, and auditing the books of a firm and of analyzing its financial status and operating results) | raamatupidamissüsteem | |
| accumulation in body tissues | kudedesse ladestumine | |
| accumulator (A rechargeable device for storing electrical energy in the form of chemical energy, consisting of one or more separate secondary cells) | akumulaator | |
| acid (A compound capable of transferring a hydrogen ion in solution) | hape | |
| acid deposition (A type of pollution which washes out of the atmosphere as dilute sulphuric and nitric acids. It tends to be a regional rather than a global phenomenon, linked to particular industrial activities and meteorological conditions. It includes rain, more than normally acidic snow, mist, sleet, fog, gas and dry particles. It upsets the balance of nature, disrupting ecosystems, and destroys forests and woodlands, plants and crops; kills aquatic life by altering the chemical balance of lakes and rivers and corrodes building materials and fabrics. The pollutants are caused principally by discharges from power station chimneys of sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides released by burning fossil fuels, coal and oil) | happesadenemine | |
| acid gas | happeline gaas | |
| acid rain (Rain having a pH less than 5.6. The acidity results from chemical reactions occurring when water, sulphur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides, generally released by industrial processes, are chemically transformed into sulphuric and nitric acids) | happevihm | |
| acidification (Addition of an acid to a solution until the pH falls below 7) | hapestumine | |
| acidity (The state of being acid that is of being capable of transferring a hydrogen ion in solution) | happesus | |
| acidity degree (The amount of acid present in a solution, often expressed in terms of pH) | happesusaste | |
| acoustic comfort | akustiline mugavus | |
| acoustic filter (A device employed to reject sound in a particular range of frequencies while passing sound in another range of frequencies) | akustiline filter | |
| acoustic insulation (The process of preventing the transmission of sound by surrounding with a nonconducting material) | heliisolatsioon |
