| تقليص الأثر إلى أقل حد ممكن | impact minimisation Actions, procedures or installations undertaken to reduce the extent or degree of negative effects on human health and the ecosystem introduced by human design or interaction with the environment |
| تقليص الأضرار إلى أقل حد | minimisation of damage The activity of reducing the harm or injury done to the environment or ecosystem |
| تقليص الأكسدة | oxidation-reduction An oxidizing chemical change, where an element's positive valence is increased (electron loss), accompanied by a simultaneous reduction of an associated element (electron gain) |
| تقليص الانبعاث | emission reduction The act or process of limiting or restricting the discharge of pollutants or contaminants, such as by setting emission limits or by modifying the emission source |
| تقليص التكلفة | cost reduction The lessening or lowering in the amount of money incurred or asked for in the exchange of goods and services |
| تقليص التلوث | pollution abatement The reduction in degree or intensity of pollution in soil, rivers, lakes, seas, atmosphere, etc. |
| تقليص التلوث بالنفط | oil pollution abatement There are various systems for the abatement of oil pollution at sea: the "Load-on-top" system involves passing the washing from tank cleaning operations and residue from discharge of the original ballast water to an empty cargo tank nominated as the "slop" tank. Fresh oil cargo is loaded on top of the final residue left after further discharges of water, the resulting mixture being acceptable to refineries despite some additional cost in removing the salt and water. Under the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, 1973, all oil-carrying ships will be required to be capable of operating with this method of retention, or alternatively to discharge to reception facilities. Another method consists in spraying on the oil dispersives and/or blasting straw and sawdust, functioning as "blotting paper", onto water, beaches, rocks and docks. The Vikoma System for the containment of oil spills at sea, developed by British Petroleum, a seaboom of about 500 metres in length, is inflated and towed downwind of the oil slick and formed into a U-shape; under the influence of wind, the oil becomes trapped within the boom. Skimming equipment travels into the boom enclosure and the oil is pumped into containers |
| تقليص الضوضاء | noise reduction The reduction in the sound pressure level of a noise, or the attenuation of unwanted sound by any means |
| تقليص الغاز المستهلك | waste gas reduction Reduction of the quantity of gaseous emissions in the atmosphere, from motorvehicles, industrial and heating plants, etc. by the adoption of clean technologies, the effectiveness of process operations, the improvement of fuel quality and the installment of chimney stacks high enough to ensure the dispersion of gases |
| تقليص المخاطر | risk reduction Any act, instance or process lowering the probability that harm will come to an area or its population as the result of some hazard |
| تقليص المخلفات | waste reduction Practices that reduce the amount of waste generated by a specific source through the redesigning of products or patterns of production or consumption |
| تقليص المخلفات إلى أقل حد ممكن | waste minimisation Measures or techniques, including plans and directives, that reduce the amount of wastes generated. Examples of waste minimisation are environmentally-sound recycling and source reduction practices |
| تقليص الملوثات | pollutant reduction All measures aimed at reducing pollutants often through physical or chemical removal of toxic, or potentially toxic, materials |
| تقليص المياه المستهلكة | waste water reduction The act or process of lessening the volume of used or spent water that is discharged from homes, businesses or industries |
| حفظ أرصدة تقليص الانبعاثات | emission reduction banking a system for recording qualified air emission reductions for later use in bubble, offset or netting transactions (emission trading); A system for recording qualified air emission reductions for later use in bubble, offset, or netting transactions. Plant complexes that reduce emissions substantially may "bank" their "credits" or sell them to other industries |
| معدات تقليص التلوث | pollution abatement equipment Equipment for the reduction in degree or intensity of pollution |
| إمكانية تقليص المخلفات إلى أقل حد ممكن | waste minimisation potential The capability of measures or techniques that reduce the amount of refuse or unwanted materials that is generated, particularly during industrial production processes |
