With about 35.000 keywords this dictionary covers the following aspects of environmental engineering tagged with the corresponding labels:
agriculture, alternative energy, automotive engineering, biology, chemistry, construction, separation, economics, environmental protection, exhaust gas treatment, exhaust gas reduction (automotive), flue gas cleaning, genetic engineering, general terms relevant to environmental engineering, general technical terms, law, mathematics, natural sciences, noise protection, organisations, physics, politics, professions, radiation, radiation protection, radiation measurement technology, recycling, remediation of contaminated sites, sewage management & sludge treatment, units & symbols, waste disposal, landfills, garbage incineration, water management, water pollution
Where deemed relevant, short explanations have been included to simplify usage, and differences between British and American usage, as well as Austrian and Swiss terms are indicated.
The basis for compiling the dictionary were environmental engineering texts from governmental and non-governmental organizations as well as scientific texts and text material from companies. A machine-readable text corpus was set up based on this material to identify the most common word forms and specialist phraseology. This methodological approach was supplemented by the traditional analysis of reference books, trade journals, and sources of information on the internet.
