An epidemiologic ecology is the study of the effects of human, physical, biological, and Chemical Stressors on conditions of ecosystems, broadly conceived.

An Epidemiology is a branch of medical science that deals with the incidence, distribution, and control of disease in a population.

An epifauna is Benthic animals living on the sediment or among rocks and other structures.

An epilimnion is the upper waters (above the metalimnion) of a thermally stratified lake.

Epithelial lining fluid (ELF) is the thin layer of fluid that covers the epithelial cells lining the respiratory tract. It plays a crucial role in the lung's defense mechanism against environmental pollutants and pathogens. The ELF contains various antimicrobial peptides, immune cells, and antibodies that help in trapping and neutralizing harmful substances inhaled from the environment. Its composition and volume can be affected by exposure to air pollutants, smoking, and respiratory diseases, impacting its ability to protect the lungs.

An Epithelium is a membranous cellular tissue that covers a free surface or lines a tube or cavity of an animal body and serves especially to enclose and protect the other parts of the body, to produce secretions and excretions, and to function in assimilation.

- Equal-area: An equal-area (equivalent) projection is One of a class of map projections that preserves area relationships between the map and the surface of the Earth. On an equal-area projection,

An Equalizing charge is a controlled overcharge of a battery bank for the purpose of restoring equality of charge in all cells.

An Equilibrium ratio, radioactive is the total Concentration of radon Decay Products (RDPs) present divided by the Concentration that would exist if the RDPs were in radioactive equilibrium with the radon gas concentration which is present.

An Equilibrium, radioactive is a state in which the formation of Atoms by Decay of a parent radioactive isotope is equal to its rate of disintegration by radioactive decay.
