| Terms for subject Environment (6972 entries) |
| saasteohje | pollution control (Chemical and physical methods to lessen discharges of most pollutants; for carbon dioxide there is, at present, no economic or practical way to reduce the quantities discharged except by reduced fossil fuel usage. Most specific means for removing pollutants from emissions include flue-gas desulphurisation, fluidised combustion, catalytic converters and the redesign of equipment, such as furnace burners and car engines, to lessen the production of pollutants) | |
| saasteoht | hazard of pollutants (Risk or danger to human health, property or the environment posed by the introduction of a harmful substances into the ecosystem) | |
| saasteoht | pollution risk (Probability of harm to human health, property or the environment posed by the introduction of an undesirable substance into the ecosystem) | |
| saasteseire | pollution monitoring (The quantitative or qualitative measure of the presence, effect or level of any polluting substance in air, water or soil) | |
| saastetoime | pollution effect (The main pollution effects concern human health and cover all aspects of the physical environment - air, water and land, including the effects of climate change. Human activities which are sources of pollution arise from domestic, commercial, industrial and military sectors and their effects are influenced by various issues, trends and public sector programmes, such as safe water and food, management of waste, increasing use of chemicals in agriculture, and urbanization. Types of pollutants which are negatively impacting health include litter, toxic chemicals, nuclear waste, lead, spoil from mining, food and water contaminants; and the polluting effects of over-population) | |
| saastetõrje | pollution abatement (The reduction in degree or intensity of pollution in soil, rivers, lakes, seas, atmosphere, etc.) | |
| saastetõrjeinvesteering | pollution control investment (Securities held for the production of income in the form of interest and dividends with the aim of controlling or reducing pollution or substances in the environment deemed harmful to human health and natural resources) | |
| saastetõrjejäätmed | pollution abatement waste (Wastes resulting from the operations of pollutant removal from industries, cleaning processes, etc.) | |
| saastetõrjemäärus | pollution control regulation (A body of rules or orders prescribed by government, management or an international organization or treaty in which limits are established for the emission of substances that harm or adversely alter the environment and human health) | |
| saastetõrjemeede | pollution control measure (Procedure or course of action taken to curb or reduce human-made or human-alteration of the physical, biological, chemical and radiological integrity of air, water and other media) | |
| saastetõrjetehnika | pollution control technology (Methods used to reduce the amount of contaminants discharged from a source) | |
| saastetõrjevarustus | pollution abatement equipment (Equipment for the reduction in degree or intensity of pollution) | |
| saastetõrjevarustus | pollution control equipment (Devices for the reduction and/or removal of those emissions to the environment which have the potential to cause pollution) | |
| säästev biokütus | sustainable biofuel | |
| säästev energiakasutus | energy saving (Avoiding wasting energy) | |
| säästev energiakasutus | energy conservation (The strategy for reducing energy requirements per unit of industrial output or individual well-being without affecting the progress of socio-economic development or causing disruption in life style. In temperate developed countries most energy is used in heating and lighting industrial and domestic buildings. Industrial processes, transport and agriculture are the other main users. During the 1970s it was demonstrated that substantial savings could be achieved through appropriate building technologies and the use of energy-efficient equipment for heating, air-conditioning and lighting. Most goods could and should be both manufactured and made to work more efficiently) | |
| säästev looduskasutus | sustainable use (Use of the environment and its living resources at a rate that does not exceed its capacity for renewal in order to ensure its availability for future generations) | |
| säästev metsamajandamine | sustainable forest management | |
| säästev tehnoloogia | clean technology | |
| säästev tehnoloogia | cleantech |
