biochemical substance | sustancias bioquímicas | |
biochemical substances | sustancias bioquímicas | |
biochemistry (The study of chemical substances occurring in living organisms and the reactions and methods for identifying these substances) | bioquímica | |
biocide (A diverse group of poisonous substance including preservatives, insecticides, disinfectants and pesticides used for the control of organisms that are harmful to human or animal health or that cause damage to natural or manufactured products) | biocidas | |
biocide | biocida | |
biocide pollution | contaminación biocida | |
biocide pollution | contaminación producida por los biocidas | |
bioclimatic habitat | hábitat bioclimático | |
bioclimatology (The study of climate in relation to fauna and flora) | bioclimatología | |
biocoenosis (A community or natural assemblage of organisms; often used as an alternative to ecosystem but strictly is the fauna/flora association excluding physical aspects of the environment) | biocenosis | |
bioconcentration factor (The quotient of the concentration of a chemical in aquatic organisms at a specific time or during a discrete time period of exposure, divided by the concentration in the surrounding water at the same time or during the same period) | factor de bioconcentración | |
bioconcentration factor | KsubBsub | |
biocontrol | lucha biológica en la agricultura | |
biocorrosion | biocorrosión | |
biodegradability (The extent to which a substance can be decomposed - or rotted - by bacteria and fungi. Implies that residues from degradation are nontoxic. One of the most misleading claims in business, because shoppers often assume a biodegradable product to be harmless. Some harmful compounds take much longer to degrade than others and the product can harm the environment while it is rotting. Biodegradation may also be incomplete, sometimes leaving residues in the environment which are more harmful than the original substance. Accumulation in the environment of nonbiodegradable (or poorly biodegradable) substances, such as some biocides, can cause serious problems) | biodegradabilidad | |
biodegradability of anionic surfactants | biodegradabilidad de los agentes de superficie aniónicos | |
biodegradability of detergents | biodegradabilidad de los detergentes | |
biodegradable detergent | detergente biodegradable | |
biodegradable pollutant (A pollutant which can be converted by biological processes into simple inorganic molecules) | contaminantes biodegradables |
