| Terms for subject Environment (5171 entries) |
| gammastråling | gamma radiation (Radiation of gamma rays) | |
| gammel avleiring | old landfill site (Landfill that has been filled and covered with topsoil and seeded. The most common end use for landfills is open spaces with no active recreation taking place over the completed landfill. The obvious reason for this use is that the completed surface is steeply sloped to provide rapid runoff. Also, no irrigation of the cover grasses should be allowed. It is very unlikely to think that commercial or industrial buildings will be constructed on a completed landfill. If the end use is such that the public will be walking on the site, it is important that all manholes be properly secured, leachate lagoons fenced, and other potential hazards eliminated) | |
| gammelt anlegg | antiquated plant (Old installation that do not respond to new rules for the prevention of environmental pollution and whose redevelopment requires investments for adopting technologies related to the protection of waterways, waste management, noise reduction and emission control) | |
| gammelt miljørisikoområde | old hazardous site (Abandoned or disused dumps and refuse tips, stockpiles and landfill sites, disused petrol service stations, closed-down coking plants and former industrial and commercial premises, etc., from which considerable risks not only to the soil and to the groundwater, but also to humans and nature, can arise) | |
| gangsti | footpath (A narrow path for walkers only) | |
| gård | farm (Any tract of land or building used for agricultural purposes, such as for raising crops and livestock) | |
| gårdsanlegg | agricultural holding (As defined by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, an agricultural holding is simply a basic unit for agricultural production) | |
| gårdsbygning | farm building (The dwelling on a farm as distinguished from utility buildings as a barn, corncrib, milk house) | |
| garrigue | garrigue (Mediterranean bush consisting of low evergreen shrubs and abundant herbaceous plants) | |
| garvesyre | tannin (One of a group of complex organic chemicals commonly found in leaves, unripe fruits, and the bark of trees. Their function is uncertain though the unpleasant taste may discourage grazing animals. Some tannins have commercial uses, notably in the production of leather and ink; used in tanning, as a mordant in dyeing, and in ink manufacture) | |
| gasohol | gasohol (A mixture of 80% or 90% petrol with 20% or 10% ethyl alcohol, for use as a fuel in internal combustion engines) | |
| gass | gas (A substance that continues to occupy in a continuous manner the whole of the space in which it is placed, however large or small this place is mad, the temperature remaining constant) | |
| gassbehandling | treatment of gases (Gas is treated before it can be supplied to the marketplace. The extent to which gas needs to be processed will depend on its quality, the amount of associated impurities such as water, carbon dioxide and sulphur compounds, and the ultimate end-use for the gas. Common gaseous impurities found in natural gas are carbon dioxide and sulphur compounds. Both have an acidic reaction and are given the generic name 'acid gases'. These gases can be removed by a number of commercial processes, using either a physical or a chemical solvent. Physical solvent processes tend to be used where gas pressures are high and for gases with lower levels of propane and heavier hydrocarbons) | |
| gassblanding | gas mixture (No definition needed) | |
| gasselskap | gas company (Company charged with the production and distribution of gas for domestic use) | |
| gassform | gaseous state (State of matter in which the matter concerned occupies the whole of its container irrespective of its quantity) | |
| gassforsyning | gas supply (The provision and storage of any fuel gas, or the amount of any fuel gas stored, for the use of a municipality, or other fuel gas user) | |
| gassing | fumigation (The use of a chemical compound in a gaseous state to kill insects, nematodes, arachnids, rodents, weeds, and fungi in confined or inaccessible locations; also used to control weeds, nematodes, and insects in the field) | |
| gasskondensering | gas liquefaction (Conversion of a gas to the liquid phase by cooling or compression) | |
| gasskraftverk | gas powered plant (Power station which burns gas, as opposed to a coal-fired station or nuclear power station) |
