Global warming

แปลว่า(Environmental Engineering) The long-term warming of the plant due to increases in greenhouse gases which trap reflected light preventing it from exiting to space.

Aldehyde

แปลว่า(Environmental Engineering) An organic compound with a carbonyl at one end of a hydrocarbon group.

Landfilling

แปลว่า(Environmental Engineering) The placement of wastes into the land under controlled conditions to minimize their migration or effect on the surrounding environment.

Kerogen

แปลว่า(Environmental Engineering) A fossilized organic material present in oil shale and some other sedimentary rocks.

Covalent bond

แปลว่า(Environmental Engineering) A bond in which electrons are shared approximately equally by two atoms.

Cell

แปลว่า(Environmental Engineering) A unit of varying dimensions in a landfill which is isolated from the environment by 6 to 12 inches of soil cover. A cell is one day's waste or less. A cell is covered with soil at the end of each day.

Autotrophic

แปลว่า(Environmental Engineering) Organisms which utilize inorganic carbon for synthesis of protoplasm. Ecologists narrow the definition further by requiring that autotrophs obtain their energy from the sun. In microbiologist parlance, this would be a photoautotroph. See photoautotrophic and chemoautotrophic.

Deoxygenation

แปลว่า(Environmental Engineering) The consumption of oxygen by the different aquatic organisms as they oxidized materials in the aquatic environment.

Photophosphorylation

แปลว่า(Environmental Engineering) The synthesis of the energy storage compound adenosine triphosphate (ATP) from adenosine diphosphate (ADP) using solar energy.

Conversion

แปลว่า(Environmental Engineering) The fraction of a species entering a system which is converted to product.

Amino acid

แปลว่า(Environmental Engineering) A functional group which consists of a carbon with a carboxylic acid, "-COOH" and an amine, "-NH2." These compounds are the building blocks for proteins.

Composting

แปลว่า(Environmental Engineering) The controlled aerobic degradation of organic wastes into a material which can be used for landscaping, landfill cover, or soil conditioning.
