Definicija: The guiding procedure, philosophy or course of action regarding the protection of natural resources in local settings, cities or towns.

Definicija: Smernice, filozofija ali postopki za zaščito naravnih virov v naseljih.

Definicija: SNAP = Selected Nomenclature for Air Pollution (developed as part of the CORINAIR project for distinguishing emission source sectors, sub-sectors and activities)

Definicija: Devices for the reduction and/or removal of those emissions to the environment which have the potential to cause pollution.

Definicija: Naprave za zmanjševanje in/ali odstranjevanje emisij v okolju, ki lahko povzročijo onesnaženja.

Definicija: Methods used to reduce the amount of contaminants discharged from a source.

Definicija: Metode za zmanjševanje količine onesnaževal, ki so izpuščena iz vira.

Definicija: The condition of equilibrium among the components of a natural community such that their relative numbers remain fairly constant and their ecosystem is stable. Gradual readjustments to the composition of a balanced community take place continually in response to natural ecological succession and to alterations in climatic and other influences.

Definicija: An eco-balance refers to the consumption of energy and resources and the pollution caused by the production cycle of a given product. The product is followed throughout its entire life cycle, from the extraction of the raw materials, manufacturing and use, right through to recycling and final handling of waste.

Definicija: Pogoji, v katerih so sestavine naravne skupnosti in njihovo število in medsebojna povezanost konstantni, njihov ekosistem pa stabilen.

Definicija: Skupni izraz za vse radijske signalne oddajnike, ki se uporabljajo za ugotavljanje položaja v sili. Glej tudi beacon; crash locator beacon; personal locator beacon.

Definicija: 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.

Definicija: Obstaja več različnih sistemov za zmanjševanje onesnaževanja morja z nafto: pri sistemu "polnjenje z vrha", tekočino, ki je nastala pri prvem spiranju tanka, spravimo v rezervoar, ki ga kasneje z vrha napolnimo s svežo nafto, takšna mešanica je kljub dodatnim stroškom dela, zaradi odstranjevanja soli in vode, primerna za obdelavo v rafinerijah. V skladu z Mednarodno konvencijo za zaščito pred onesnaževanjem iz ladij iz leta 1973 morajo biti vse ladje za prevoz nafte opremljene s tem sistemom, oziroma z možnostjo izpustitve odplak v sprejemne obrate. Druga metoda je razpršitev disperzivov ali/in slame ter žaganja, ki delujejo kot pivnik, na vodo, plaže, skale in doke. Sistem Vikoma za obvladovanje naftnih madežev na morju, ki ga je razvil British Petroleum, uporablja plavajoči lovilec nafte v dolžini 500. (glej definicijo pri 'plavajoči lovilec nafte').
