| Terms for subject Environment (6716 entries) |
| sajd tal-baħar | marine fishery (The harvest of animals and plants from the ocean to provide food and recreation for people, food for animals, and a variety of organic materials for industry) | |
| sajlenser | silencer (Any device designed to reduce noise, especially the device in the exhaust system of a motor vehicle) | |
| salamandra | salamander (Any of various urodele amphibians, such as Salamandra salamandra of central and S Europe. They are typically terrestrial, have an elongated body, and only return to water to breed) | |
| salina | salina (A place where crystalline salt deposits are formed or found, such as a salt flat or pan, a salada, or a salt lick) | |
| salinità tal-ħamrija | soil salinity (Measurement of the quantity of mineral salts found in a soil. Many semi-arid and arid areas are naturally salty. By definition they are areas of substantial water deficit where evapotranspiration exceeds precipitation. Thus, whereas in humid areas there is sufficient water to percolate through the soil and to leach soluble materials from the soil and the rocks into the rivers and hence into the sea, in deserts this is not the case. Salts therefore tend to accumulate) | |
| salinità tal-ilma | water salinity (The degree of dissolved salts in water measured by weight in parts per thousand) | |
| salinizzazzjoni | salination (The accumulation of soluble salts by evaporation of the waters that bore them to the soil zone, in a soil of an arid, poorly drained region) | |
| salinizzazzjoni tal-ħamrija | soil salination (The accumulation of soluble mineral salts near the surface of soil, usually caused by the capillary flow of water from saline ground water. Where the rate of surface evaporation is high, irrigation can exacerbate the problem by moistening the soil and causing water to be drawn from deeper levels as water evaporates from the surface. The evaporation of pure water leaves the salts behind, allowing them to accumulate, and they can reach concentrations that are toxic to plants, thus sterilizing the land) | |
| salinizzazzjoni tal-ilma | water salination (Process by which water becomes more salty, found especially in hot countries where irrigation is practised) | |
| salmonella | salmonella (General name for a family of microorganisms, one of the largest groups of bacteria, that includes those most frequently implicated in food poisoning and gastroenteritis. Unhygienic handling and inadequate cooking of poultry and meat, improper storage of cold meats and, more recently, contamination of battery-reared hen eggs, are the most common sources of salmonella infections) | |
| salvataġġ | salvage (The act, process, or business of rescuing vessels or their cargoes from loss at sea) | |
| sanità ambjentali | environmental sanitation | |
| sanità urbana | urban sanitation (The renovation or redevelopment of the decaying areas of cities by the demolition or up-grading of existing dwellings and buildings and a general improvement in environmental conditions) | |
| santwarju għall-annimali selvaġġi | wildlife sanctuary (1. An area, usually in natural condition, which is reserved (set aside) by a governmental or private agency for the protection of particular species of animals during part or all of the year. 2. An area designated for the protection of wild animals, within which hunting and fishing is either prohibited or strictly controlled) | |
| santwarju għall-għasafar | bird sanctuary (Special area where birds are protected) | |
| sanzjoni | sanction | |
| sanzjoni amministrattiva | administrative sanction (Generally, any formal official imposition of penalty or fine; destruction, taking, seizure, or withholding of property; assessment of damages, reimbursement, restitution, compensation, costs, charges or fees; requirement, revocation or suspension of license; and taking other compulsory or restrictive action by organization, agency or its representative) | |
| sanzjoni penali | penal sanction (Punishment for the commission of a specific crime, such as fines, restitution, probation and imprisonment) | |
| saprobju | saprobe (Referring to the classification of organisms according to the way in which they tolerate pollution) | |
| sapun | soap (A cleansing agent, manufactured in bars, granules, flakes, or liquid form, made from a mixture of the sodium salts of various fatty acids of natural oils and fats) |
