| Terms for subject Environment (5171 entries) |
| quarrying (The surface exploitation and removal of stone or mineral deposits from the earth's crust) | steinbryting | |
| quartering (The act of dismembering the carcass of an animal with the production of organic waste which if improperly disposed cause problems of pollution and fawl smells) | partering | |
| race relations (The associations, tensions or harmony between two or more groups of people distinguished by history, culture, religion or physique: distinctions erroneously construed as being based on consistent biological differences and as representing, in effect, species of a human genus) | raserelasjon | |
| racking (The mechanical dewatering of a wet solid by pouring off the liquid without disturbing the underlying sediment or precipitate) | dekantering | |
| radar (A system using beamed and reflected radiofrequency energy for detecting and locating objects, measuring distance or altitude, navigating, homing, bombing and other purposes) | radar | |
| radiation (Emission of any rays from either natural or man-made origins, such as radio waves, the sun's rays, medical X-rays and the fall-out and nuclear wastes produced by nuclear weapons and nuclear energy production. Radiation is usually divided between non-ionizing radiation, such as thermal radiation (heat) and light, and nuclear radiation. Non-ionizing radiation includes ultraviolet radiation from the sun which, although it can damage cells and tissues, does not involve the ionization events of nuclear radiation) | stråling | |
| radiation damage (Somatic and genetic damage to living organisms caused by exposure to ionizing radiation) | stråleskade | |
| radiation dose (The total amount of radiation absorbed by material or tissues, in the sense of absorbed dose, exposure dose, or dose equivalent) | stråledose | |
| radiation effect (Prolonged exposure to ionizing radiation from various sources can be harmful. Nuclear radiation from fallout from nuclear weapons or from power stations, background radiation from substances naturally present in the soil, exposure to X-rays can cause radiation sickness. Massive exposure to radiation can kill quickly and any person exposed to radiation is more likely to develop certain types of cancer than other members of the population) | strålevirkning | |
| radiation exposure (The act or state of being subjected to electromagnetic energy strong enough to ionize atoms thereby posing a threat to human health or the environment) | strålingseksponering | |
| radiation monitoring (The periodic or continuous surveillance or analysis of the level of radiant energy present in a given area, to determine that its prescribed amount has not been exceeded or that it meets acceptable safety standards) | strålingsovervåking | |
| radiation physics (The study of ionizing radiation and its effects on matter) | strålingsfysikk | |
| radiation protection (Precautionary actions, measures or equipment implemented to guard or defend people, property and natural resources from the harmful effects of ionizing energy) | strålevern | |
| radiation protection law (A binding rule or body of rules prescribed by government to establish measures to keep humans and natural resources safe from harmful exposure to energy waves released by nuclear materials, electromagnetic current and other sources) | strålevernslovgivning | |
| radiation sickness (The complex of symptoms characterizing the disease known as radiation injury, resulting from excessive exposure of the whole body (or large part) to ionizing radiation. The earliest of these symptoms are nausea, fatigue, vomiting, and diarrhea, which may be followed by loss of hair (epilation), hemorrhage, inflammation of the mouth and throat, and general loss of energy) | strålesykdom | |
| radio (The process, equipment or programming involved in transmitting and receiving sound signals by electromagnetic waves) | radio | |
| radio programme (A performance or production transmitted in sound signals with electromagnetic waves) | radioprogram | |
| radioactive contamination (Contamination of a substance, living organism or site caused by radioactive material) | radioaktiv kontaminering | |
| radioactive decontamination (The removal of radioactive contamination which is deposited on surfaces or may have spread throughout a work area. Personnel decontamination is also included. Decontamination methods follow two broad avenues of attack, mechanical and chemical) | radioaktiv dekontaminering | |
| radioactive dumping (Waste generated by the emission of particulate or electromagnetic radiation resulting from the decay of the nuclei of unstable elements) | radioaktivt avfallsdeponi |
