| jímání vody podzemní | groundwater extraction (The process, deliberate or inadvertent, of extracting ground water from a source at a rate so in excess of the replenishment that the ground water level declines persistently, threatening exhaustion of the supply or at least a decline of pumping levels to uneconomic depths) | |
| jímka látky znečišťující | pollution sink (Vehicle for removal of a chemical or gas from the atmosphere-biosphere-ocean system, in which the substance is absorbed into a permanent or semi-permanent repository, or else transformed into another substance. A carbon sink, for example, might be the ocean (which absorbs and holds carbon from other parts of carbon cycle) or photosynthesis (which converts atmospheric carbon into plant material). Sinks are a fundamental factor in the ongoing balance which determines the concentration of every greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. If the sink is greater than the sources of a gas, its concentration in the atmosphere will decrease; if the source is greater than the sink, the concentration will increase) | |
| jód | iodine (A nonmetallic halogen element; the poisonous, corrosive dark plates or granules are readily sublimed; insoluble in water, soluble in common solvents; used as germicide and antiseptic, in dyes, tinctures, and pharmaceuticals, in engraving lithography, and as a catalyst and analytical reagent) | |

| kabel | cable (Strands of insulated electrical conductors laid together, usually around a central core, and wrapped in a heavy insulation) | |
| kadmium | cadmium (One of the toxic heavy metal which has caused deaths and permanent illnesses in a series of major pollution incidents around the world. Cadmium has no useful biological purpose. However, it has wide industrial applications. It has been used for decades in metal plating to prevent corrosion, in rechargeable batteries and as a pigment in certain plastics and paints. Special care is taken in the industrial smelting of ores and subsequent handling of cadmium, because occupational exposure is known to have caused heart, chest and kidney disorders. Environmental health problems have come from exposure to various sources of pollution, Cd) | |

| kal | sludge (1. A soft, soupy, or muddy bottom deposit, such as found on tideland or in a stream bed. 2. A semifluid, slushy, murky mass of sediment resulting from treatment of water, sewage, or industrial and mining wastes, and often appearing as local bottom deposits in polluted bodies of water) | |
| kal aktivovaný | activated sludge (Sludge that has been aerated and subjected to bacterial action; used to speed breakdown of organism matter in raw sewage during secondary waste treatment) | |
| kal čistírenský | waste water sludge (The removed materials resulting from physical, biological and chemical treatment of waste water) | |
| kal čistírenský | sewage sludge (A semi-liquid waste with a solid concentration in excess of 2500 parts per million, obtained from the purification of municipal sewage) | |
| kal odpadní zbytkový | residual waste sludge (The excess, unusable semi-solids or sediment resulting from a wastewater treatment or industrial process) | |
| kal odvodněný | dehydrated sludge (Sludge whose water content has been reduced by physical means) | |
