The objective of a green corridor is always to link important natural areas in a city using a strip or corridor characterised by rich vegetation.... The benefits of green corridors are various, of course : increased biodiversity, promotion of non-polluting mobility, reduced air/noise pollution, helping prevent heat islands, and better water retention. They also generate social, cultural and economic benefits.  2, record 1, English, - green%20corridor

Green corridors slicing through an urban area are conspicuous. Such strips (1) subdivide the area, (2) block out the other side, (3) are filters for movement across, (4) are thin and dominated by edge species, (5) are likely to be seen or encountered, (6) may be appealing or dangerous, and (7) tend to channel movement along their length. Indeed, these characteristics lead to the five major ecological functions of corridors ...: conduit; barrier/filter; source; sink; and habitat.  3, record 1, English, - green%20corridor

Cette hausse constante de la température observée et projetée accentue un problème déjà connu : l'effet d'îlot de chaleur urbain (ICU). Ce phénomène se caractérise par des températures estivales plus élevées en milieux urbains que dans les zones rurales environnantes, et également entre des zones d'un périmètre intra-urbain, par exemple entre un stationnement et un parc lui étant adjacent.  2, record 2, French, - effet%20d%27%C3%AElot%20de%20chaleur

If you accept the dogma of climatism, greenhouse gases from industry are causing catastrophic global warming. Melting ice caps, rising oceans, stronger hurricanes and storms, droughts and floods, species extinction, polar bear starvation, heat waves, disease, ocean acidification, and air pollution are all a result of man-made climate change, according to experts.  1, record 3, English, - climatism

Ecophobia -- a fear of ecological problems and the natural world -- is a fear of oil spills, rainforest destruction, whale hunting, acid rain, the ozone hole, and Lyme disease [and sometimes the fear of just being outside].  4, record 4, English, - ecophobia

This summer's record-busting hot spell... has aroused an extraordinary response.... Many Americans have found themselves concerned... about the whole bruised and abused human habitat. Soggy, unremitting heat sometimes seemed a symptom of general ecological collapse.... Ecophobia, as the mood might be called, has not been induced by the hot spell alone.... The combination of heat and pollution gave a "sense of foreboding"... [and provoked] apprehensions about ecological dangers.... Ecophobia... is not likely to disappear... [because] there is sufficient cause for fear about almost every aspect of the human environment.  5, record 4, English, - ecophobia

Briefly, "ecophobia" is an irrational (often hysterical) and groundless hatred of the natural world, or aspects of it. Such fear of the agency of Nature plays out in many spheres. The personal hygiene industry relies on it, since capital-driven notions about personal cleanliness assign us preference for perfumes (for some more than others) over natural bodily odors; the cosmetic industry (in its passion for covering up Nature’s "flaws" and "blemishes") uses it; beauticians and barbers (in their military passion for cutting back natural growths) are sustained by it; city sanitation boards display it in their demands that residents keep grass short to prevent the introduction of "vermin" and "pests" into urban areas; landscaped gardens, trimmed poodles in women’s handbags on the Seoul subway system -- anything that amputates or seeks to amputate the agency of Nature and to assert a human order on a system that follows different orders is, in essence, ecophobic. Ecophobia is a subtle thing that takes many forms.  6, record 4, English, - ecophobia

écophobie : Le mot «phobie» englobe la crainte maladive, la répugnance, la peur, le dégoût, l'horreur (p. ex. : «zoophobie», peur morbide de certains animaux). Il faut que le premier élément du terme représente l'objet de cette crainte ou de cette répugnance. «Éco» est ambigu : il peut vouloir dire «écologie» (habitat, environnement) ou «économie». Par exemple, nous avons relevé le terme «écophobie» dans le sens de la haine de l'écologie ou des préoccupations environnementales (aussi «écolophobie»), de la peur d'être chez soi (aussi «domophobie»), de l'aversion pour les questions touchant l'économie (aussi «éconophobie»), mais non dans le sens de la peur des milieux naturels qui fait l'objet de la présente fiche. Les termes anglais «ecophobia» et français «écophobie» semblent être souvent de faux-amis.  3, record 4, French, - naturophobie

An increasing amount of attention has been given to thermal pollution, the raising of the temperature of a waterway by heat discharged from the cooling system or effluent wastes of an industrial installation. This rise in temperature may sufficiently upset the ecological balance of the waterway to pose a threat to the native life-forms. This problem has been especially noted in the vicinity of nuclear power plants.  4, record 5, English, - thermal%20discharge

To prevent pollution of the public water supply, the disposal of spent sulfite liquor into rivers is, in many cases, forbidden. The only solution possible is to evaporate it or even to dry it out completely.... The back-pressure process is notable for its great heat economy, but it makes necessary the profitable utilization of the back-pressure steam.... Because of the high temperatures during the evaporation process, thermal decomposition of the liquor may occur.... The thermal compression method is especially advantageous when cheap power is available. The steam formed during the evaporation is compressed and passed along the outer wall of the evaporator where it is condensed and its latent heat transferred to the boiling liquor.  1, record 6, English, - back%2Dpressure%20process

back pressure evaporator: A type of evaporator used to concentrate pulp mill wash liquors and operate with all effects or units under pressure, with low-pressure steam leaving the last effect.

Smog and air pollution can change the climate; water pollution by sewage, industrial wastes, fertilizers and detergents, and even by the heat thrown off from nuclear and nonnuclear power plants, has made a waste land of our earthly inheritance. The "economic externalities and diseconomies" cannot be expected to be set aright by market competition and the pursuit of profit. They call for government zoning ordinances, fiats and prohibitions, planning and coordination, subsidies and penalties of taxation.  1, record 8, English, - economic%20externality
