medioambiente; medio ambiente : La Fundación del Español Urgente(Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, explica que las formas medioambiente y medio ambiente son correctas, aunque se prefiere la grafía simple. Las palabras que pierden su acento al pronunciarse junto a otras tienden a escribirse unidas, motivo por el cual medio ambiente, arco iris o boca arriba forman medioambiente, arcoíris y bocarriba, de acuerdo con la Ortografía de la lengua española. [...] Por otro lado, cuando forma parte de una denominación oficial, se aconseja respetar la forma que aparece en el nombre [...] El plural de medioambiente es medioambientes y el adjetivo derivado es medioambiental, en una sola palabra. 4, record 4, Spanish, - Declaraci%C3%B3n%20de%20R%C3%ADo%20sobre%20el%20Medio%20Ambiente%20y%20el%20Desarrollo
