| lağım suyu |
effluent (The waste liquid from domestic sewage, industrial sites or from agricultural processes. Effluents are harmful when they enter the environment, especially in freshwater, because of their polluting chemical composition) |
|
| laboratuvar |
laboratory (A room or building with scientific equipment for doing scientific tests or for teaching science, or a place where chemicals or medicines are produced) |
|
| laboratuvar araştırmaları |
laboratory research (Research carried out in a laboratory for testing chemical substances, growing tissues in cultures, or performing microbiological, biochemical, hematological, microscopical, immunological, parasitological tests, etc.) |
|
| laboratuvar atıkları |
laboratory waste (Discarded materials produced by analytical and research activities in a laboratory) |
|
| laboratuvar deneyi |
laboratory experiment (Tests or investigations carried out in a laboratory) |
|
| laboratuvar tekniği |
laboratory technique (No definition needed) |
|
| laboratuvar testi |
laboratory test (Tests, examinations or evaluations performed in a laboratory) |
|
| laboratuvarlar arası karşılaştırma |
interlaboratory comparison (Tests performed at the same time in different laboratories to validate the quality of the results) |
|
| lagün |
lagoon (A body of water cut off from the open sea by coral reefs or sand bars) |
|
| lagünde arıtma |
lagooning (The process in which sunlight, bacterial action and oxygen cause self-purification in waste water, Usually taking place in a shallow pond, or system of such ponds) |
|
| lamba |
lamp (A device that produces light, such as an electric lamp) |
|
| lazer |
laser (Acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation; a device that produces a powerful, highly directional, monochromatic, coherent beam of light. Laser consist of a transparent cylinder with a reflecting surface at one end and a partially reflecting surface at the other. Light waves are reflected back and forth, some of them emerging at the partially reflecting end. The light source may be a ruby, whose chromium atoms are excited by a flash lamp so that they emit pulses of highly coherent light, or a mixture of inert gases that produce a continuos beam, or a cube of treated gallium arsenide which emits infrared radiation when an electric current passes through it) |
|
| lenf sistemi |
lymphatic system (A system of vessels and nodes conveying lymph in the vertebrate body, beginning with capillaries in tissue spaces and eventually forming the thoracic ducts which empty in the subclavian veins) |
|
| lepidoptera |
lepidopteran (A large order of scaly-winged insects, including the butterflies, skippers, and moths; adults are characterized by two pairs of membranous wings and sucking mouthparts, featuring a prominent, coiled proboscis) |
|
| liken |
lichen (Composite organisms formed by the symbiosis between species of fungi and an algae. They are either crusty patches or bushy growths on tree trunks, stone walls, roofs or garden paths. Because they have no actual roots they get their sustenance from the atmosphere and rainwater. Lichens play an important role in the detection and monitoring of pollution, especially sulphur dioxide, as they are highly sensitive to pollution and different species disappear if pollution reaches specific levels) |
|
| liken haritalama |
mapping of lichens (Maps of lichens distribution indicating air quality. Fruticose lichens (with branched structures well above the surface) are more susceptible to SO2 damage than foliose lichens (whose leaflike thallus lies nearly flat on surface) and both in turn are more susceptible than crustose lichens (which embed their tissue in the cracks of bark, soil, or rocks). The use of morphological lichen types as indicators of air pollution concentrations is well developed) |
|
| liman |
harbour (Area of water next to the coast, often surrounded by thick walls, where ships and boats can be sheltered) |
|
| limit değeri |
limit value (A workplace exposure criterion or standard that determines if a facility or building has a concentration of a substance to which most workers can be exposed without harmful or adverse effects) |
|
| limnoloji |
limnology (The study of bodies of fresh water with reference to their plant and animal life, physical properties, geographical features, etc.) |
|
| linyit |
lignite (Coal of relatively recent origin consisting of accumulated layers of partially decomposed vegetation, intermediate between peat and bituminous coal; often contains patterns from the wood from which it formed) |
