| Terms for subject Environment (7489 entries) |
| lahustamine | dissolution (Dissolving of a material) | |
| lahusti | solvent (Substance, generally a liquid, capable of dissolving another substance) | |
| lahustite taaskasutamine | solvent recovery (Solvent recovery is a widely practised form of recycling where spent solvents are distilled and reused. However, the cheaper solvents are often incinerated or dumped in hazardous waste landfill sites) | |
| lahustumatu aine | insoluble substance (Substance incapable of forming a solution, especially in water) | |
| lahustunud hapnik | dissolved oxygen | |
| lahustunud hapnik | dissolved oxygen (The amount of oxygen dissolved in a stream, river or lake is an indication of the degree of health of the stream and its ability to support a balanced aquatic ecosystem. The oxygen comes from the atmosphere by solution and from photosynthesis of water plants. The maximum amount of oxygen that can be held in solution in a stream is termed the saturation concentration and, as it is a function of temperature, the greater the temperature, the less the saturation amount. The discharge of an organic waste to a stream imposes an oxygen demand on the stream. If there is an excessive amount of organic matter, the oxidation of waste by microorganisms will consume oxygen more rapidly than it can be replenished. When this happens, the dissolved oxygen is depleted and results in the death of the higher forms of life) | |
| lahustunud hapnik | dissolved oxygen concentration | |
| lahustunud hapniku kontsentratsioon | dissolved oxygen | |
| lahustunud hapniku kontsentratsioon | dissolved oxygen concentration | |
| lahustunud orgaaniline süsinik | dissolved organic carbon (The fraction of total organic carbon (all carbon atoms covalently bonded in organic molecules) in water that passes through a 0.45 micron pore-diameter filter) | |
| lahustuvus | solubility (The ability of a substance to form a solution with another substance) | |
| lahutamine | separation (The separation of one substance from another when they are intimately mixed. For example the removal of oil from water, or gas from oil or oil from gas, etc.) | |
| laiendamiskava | enlargement programme | |
| laiendamispoliitika | enlargement policy | |
| laineenergia | wave energy (Power extracted from the motion of sea waves at the coast) | |
| laius | latitude (An angular distance in degrees north or south of the equator (latitude 0°), equal to the angle subtended at the centre of the globe by the meridian between the equator and the point in question) | |
| laivõrk | wide area network (A system of interrelated computer and telecommunications devices linking two or more computers separated by a great distance for the exchange of electronic data) | |
| lakk | lacquer (A material which contains a substantial quantity of a cellulose derivative, most commonly nitrocellulose but sometimes a cellulose ester, such as cellulose acetate or cellulose butyrate, or a cellulose ether such as ethyl cellulose; used to give a glossy finish, especially on brass and other bright metals) | |
| lambad | ovine (Horned ruminant mammals raised in many breeds for wool, edible flesh, or skin) | |
| lämmastik | nitrogen (An essential nutrient in the food supply of plants and the diets of animals. Animals obtain it in nitrogen-containing compounds, particularly amino acids. Although the atmosphere is nearly 80% gaseous nitrogen, very few organisms have the ability to use it in this form. The higher plants normally obtain it from the soil after micro-organisms have converted the nitrogen into ammonia or nitrates, which they can then absorb) |
