| saak |
harvest (The amount or measure of the crop gathered in a season) |

| saak |
yield (The accumulated volume or biomass remaining from gross production after accounting for losses due to respiration during production, herbivory, litterfall, and other factors that decrease the remaining available biomass; agricultural) |
|
| saar |
island (A land mass, especially one smaller than a continent, entirely surrounded by water) |
|
| saarestik |
archipelago (A chain of many islands including the waters that surround them) |
|
| saareökosüsteem |
island ecosystem (Unique but fragile and vulnerable ecosystems due to the fact that the evolution of their flora and fauna has taken place in relative isolation. Many remote islands have some of the most unique flora in the world; some have species of plants and animals that are not found anywhere else, which have evolved in a specialized way, sheltered from the fierce competition that species face on mainland) |
|
| saastamise vältimine |
pollution prevention (Eliminating the production of hazardous wastes and greenhouse gases at their source, within the production process. This can often be achieved through a variety of relatively simple strategies, including minor changes in manufacturing processes, substitution of non-polluting products for polluting products, and simplification of packaging. Companies practicing waste reduction have saved hundreds of millions of dollars, and used it to catalyze employee involvement and eliminate the need for expensive end-of-the-pipe filtering) |
|
| saastast puhastamine |
decontamination (The removing of chemical, biological, or radiological contamination from, or the neutralizing of it on a person, object, or area) |

|
| saasteaineseire |
pollutant monitoring (Periodic or continuous determination of the amount of pollutants present in the environment) |
|
| saasteainevoog |
pollutant flow (The forward continuous motion or diffusion of polluting substances, or the rate or quantity in which polluting substances move from one place to another) |
|
| saasteallikas |
source of pollution (The place, places or areas from where a pollutant is released into the atmosphere or water, or where noise is generated. A source can be classified as point source, i.e. a large individual generator of pollution, an area source, or a line source, e.g. vehicle emissions and noise) |
|
| saasteindikaator |
pollution indicator (Organisms, mostly plants, which are most sensitive to slight changes in environmental factors. When identified their reaction can serve as an early warning of the endangerment of the health of a community) |
|
| saastekindlustus |
pollution insurance (A commercial agreement which provides protection against the risks, or a particular risk, associated with pollution, toxic waste disposal or related concerns) |
|
| saastekoormus |
pollutant load (The amount of polluting material that a transporting agent, such as a stream, a glacier, or the wind, is actually carrying at a given time) |
