| fagforening | trades union (An organization whose members are wholly or mainly workers and whose principal purposes include the regulation of relations between workers and employers or employers' associations) | |
| fakling | flaring (1. Flares use open flames during normal and/or emergency operations to combust hazardous gaseous. The system has no special features to control temperature or time of combustion; however, supplemental fuel may be required to sustain the combustion. Historically, flares have been used to dispose of waste gases in the oil and gas industry and at wastewater treatment plants having anaerobic digestors. Regulation for thermal destruction of hazardous wastes limit the practical use of flaring to combustion of relatively simple hydrocarbons, such as methane from digesters or landfill gas collection systems. 2. A control device that burns hazardous materials to prevent their release into the environment; may operate continuously or intermittently, usually on top a stack) | |
| faktormarked | factor market (Significant elements or reasons for an outcome in the buying, selling, and trading of particular goods or services) | |
| falsk krupp | spasmodic croup | |

| fargehandel | paint shop (A shop where paint and related items are sold) | |
| fargesammensetning | colour composition (A remote-sensing term referring to the process of assigning different colours to different spectral bands. The colour picture formed by this process is called a "colour composite" (a colour image produced through optical combination of multiband images by projection through filters) and is produced by assigning a colour to an image of the Earth's surface recorded in a particular waveband. For a Landsat colour composite, the green waveband is coloured blue, the red waveband is coloured green and the infrared waveband is coloured red. This produces an image closely approximating a false colour photograph. Colour composite images are easier to interpret than separate images recording different wavebands. US national experimental crop inventories are based upon visual interpretation of Landsat colour composites) | |
| fargestoff | dye (A coloring material) | |
| fargetilsetningsstoff i mat | food colourant (Any digestible substance, usually a synthetic dye, which manufacturers add to food to give it color and enhance its appearance) | |
