Terms for subject Environment (6310 entries)
radiācija radiation (Emission of any rays from either natural or man-made origins, such as radio waves, the sun's rays, medical X-rays and the fall-out and nuclear wastes produced by nuclear weapons and nuclear energy production. Radiation is usually divided between non-ionizing radiation, such as thermal radiation (heat) and light, and nuclear radiation. Non-ionizing radiation includes ultraviolet radiation from the sun which, although it can damage cells and tissues, does not involve the ionization events of nuclear radiation)
radiācijas deva radiation dose (The total amount of radiation absorbed by material or tissues, in the sense of absorbed dose, exposure dose, or dose equivalent)
radiācijas fizika radiation physics (The study of ionizing radiation and its effects on matter)
radiācijas iedarbība radiation exposure (The act or state of being subjected to electromagnetic energy strong enough to ionize atoms thereby posing a threat to human health or the environment)
radiācijas ietekme radiation effect (Prolonged exposure to ionizing radiation from various sources can be harmful. Nuclear radiation from fallout from nuclear weapons or from power stations, background radiation from substances naturally present in the soil, exposure to X-rays can cause radiation sickness. Massive exposure to radiation can kill quickly and any person exposed to radiation is more likely to develop certain types of cancer than other members of the population)
radiācijas monitorings radiation monitoring (The periodic or continuous surveillance or analysis of the level of radiant energy present in a given area, to determine that its prescribed amount has not been exceeded or that it meets acceptable safety standards)
radiācijas radītais kaitējums radiation damage (Somatic and genetic damage to living organisms caused by exposure to ionizing radiation)
radiaktīvo atkritumu izgāšana radioactive dumping (Waste generated by the emission of particulate or electromagnetic radiation resulting from the decay of the nuclei of unstable elements)
radio radio (The process, equipment or programming involved in transmitting and receiving sound signals by electromagnetic waves)
radio programma radio programme (A performance or production transmitted in sound signals with electromagnetic waves)
radioaktīvā dekontaminācija radioactive decontamination (The removal of radioactive contamination which is deposited on surfaces or may have spread throughout a work area. Personnel decontamination is also included. Decontamination methods follow two broad avenues of attack, mechanical and chemical)
radioaktīvā starojuma avots, kura lietotājs vai īpašnieks nav zināms orphan radiation source
radioaktīvā starojuma avots, kura lietotājs vai īpašnieks nav zināms orphan source
radioaktīva viela radioactive substance (Any substance that contains one or more radionuclides of which the activity or the concentration cannot be disregarded as far as radiation protection is concerned)
radioaktīvais piesārņojums radioactive contamination (Contamination of a substance, living organism or site caused by radioactive material)
radioaktīvais piesārņojums radioactive contamination
radioaktīvais piesārņojums contamination
radioaktīvais piesārņotājs radioactive pollutant (A substance undergoing spontaneous decay or disintegration of atomic nuclei and giving off radiant energy in the form of particles or waves, often associated with an explosion of a nuclear weapon or an accidental release from a nuclear power plant, holding facility or transporting container)
radioaktīvais treisers radioactive tracer (A radioactive isotope which, when injected into a biological or physical system, can be traced by radiation detection devices, permitting determination of the distribution or location of the substance to which it is attached)
radioaktīvās emisijas radioactive emission (The release of radioactive substances into the environment deriving from nuclear installations and from mining, purification and enrichment operations of radioactive elements)
