| environ. | forurensende kjemisk stoff | chemical pollutant |
| environ. | fysisk-kjemisk analyse | physicochemical analysis Analysis based on the physical changes associated with chemical reactions |
| environ. | fysisk-kjemisk behandling | physicochemical treatment Any processing of wastewater, toxic substances or other materials involving a combination of physical and chemical methods, such as physical processes including air-stripping or filtration and chemical processes including coagulation, chlorination or ozonation |
| environ. | fysisk-kjemisk prosess | physicochemical process Processes involving changes in the physical properties and chemical structure of substances |
| environ. | kjemisk analyse | chemical analysis The complex of operations aiming to determine the kinds of constituents of a given substance |
| environ. | kjemisk anlegg | chemical installation Building where chemicals are manufactured |
| environ. | kjemisk avfall | chemical waste Any by-product of a chemical process, including manufacturing processes. Often this by-product is considered a toxic or polluting substance |
| environ. | kjemisk avfallsbehandling | chemical treatment of waste |
| environ. | kjemisk behandling | chemical treatment Processes that alter the chemical structure of the constituents of the waste to produce either an innocuous or a less hazardous material. Chemical processes are attractive because they produce minimal air emissions, they can often be carried out on the site of the waste generator, and some processes can be designed and constructed as mobile units |
| environ. | kjemisk bekjemping | chemical pest control Control of plants and animals classified as pests by means of chemical compounds |
| environ. | kjemisk dekontaminering | chemical decontamination Removal of chemical substances from a building, a watercourse, a person's clothes, etc. |
| environ. | kjemisk egenskap | chemical property Properties of a substance depending on the arrangement of the atoms in the molecule, e.g. bio-availability, degradability, persistence, etc. |
| environ. | kjemisk fabrikk | chemical plant Plants where basic raw materials are chemically converted into a variety of products |
| environ. | kjemisk forurensning | chemical pollution Pollution caused by substances of chemical nature, including chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls, metals as mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic, etc. |
| environ. | kjemisk industri | chemical industry Industry related with the production of chemical compounds. The chemical processing industry has a variety of special pollution problems due to the vast number of products manufactured. The treatment processes combine processing, concentration, separation, extraction, by-product recovery, destruction, and reduction in concentration. The wastes may originate from solvent extraction, acid and caustic wastes, overflows, spills, mechanical loss, etc. |
| environ. | kjemisk kontaminering | chemical contamination The addition or presence of chemicals to, or in, another substance to such a degree as to render it unfit for its intended purpose. Also refers to the result(s) of such an addition or presence |
| environ. | kjemisk korrosivitet | chemical corrosivity The tendency of a metal to wear away another by chemical attack |
| environ. | kjemisk måling av forurensning | chemical measurement of pollution The quantitative determination of the presence, extent or type of pollutant substances in the environment by studying the actions or reactions of known chemicals to those pollutants |
| environ. | kjemisk nedbryting | chemical degradation The act or process of simplifying or breaking down a molecule into smaller parts, either naturally or artificially |
| environ. | kjemisk nedfall | chemical fallout The sedimentation of chemical substances accumulated in the atmosphere as a result of industrial emissions |
| environ. | kjemisk oksygenforbruk | chemical oxygen demand The quantity of oxygen used in biological and non-biological oxidation of materials in water; a measure of water quality |
| environ. | kjemisk oseanografi | chemical oceanography |
| environ. | kjemisk produkt | chemical product A substance characterized by definite molecular composition |
| environ. | kjemisk prosess | chemical process The particular method of manufacturing or making a chemical usually involving a number of steps or operations |
| environ. | kjemisk reaksjon | chemical reaction A change in which a substance is transformed into one or more new substances |
| environ. | kjemisk risiko | chemical risk Probability of harm to human health, property or the environment posed by contact with any substance of a defined molecular composition |
| environ. | kjemisk sammensetning | chemical composition The nature and proportions of the elements comprising a chemical compound |
| environ. | kjemisk stoff | chemical Any substance used in or resulting from a reaction involving changes to atoms or molecules |
| environ. | kjemisk struktur | chemical structure The arrangement of atoms in a molecule of a chemical compound |
| light. | kjemisk virksom | actinic |
| environ. | kjemisk våpen | chemical weapon Chemical agents of warfare include all gaseous, liquid or solid chemical substances which might be employed because of their direct toxic effects on man and animals. Chemical weapons also include the chemical's precursors, the munitions and devices designed to deliver them, and any equipment specifically designed for their use in warfare. Nerve agents (chemicals of the same family as organophosphorous insecticides) are the most lethal of the classical chemical warfare agents, killing by poisoning the nervous system and disrupting bodily functions. Other chemical weapons include blister agents, vesicants, choking agents, etc. |
| environ. | mekanisk-kjemisk rensing | physicochemical purification Used to concentrate waste brines and to remove solid organics and ammonia from aqueous solutions. Physical treatment consists of reverse osmosis, dialysis, electrodialysis, evaporation, carbon, adsorption, ammonia stripping, filtration, sedimentation, and flocculation. Chemical treatment consists of ion exchange, neutralization, oxidation, reduction, precipitation, and calcination |
