Infiltrációs

Infiltrációs is a term primarily used in medicine and geology, describing the process of a substance or fluid passing through or into a porous material. In a medical context, infiltrációs refers to the spread of abnormal cells or substances into surrounding tissues. This can occur with the progression of cancer, where tumor cells invade healthy organs, or with the accumulation of inflammatory cells and fluids in conditions like pneumonia or edema. Understanding the extent of infiltrációs is crucial for diagnosis, staging of diseases, and treatment planning. Medical imaging techniques such as MRI, CT scans, and biopsies are often employed to assess and confirm infiltrációs.

In geology and hydrology, infiltrációs describes the movement of surface water into the ground. This process is vital for replenishing groundwater aquifers, sustaining vegetation, and influencing soil moisture levels. The rate of infiltrációs depends on various factors including soil type, pore space, surface slope, vegetation cover, and the intensity and duration of precipitation. Impervious surfaces, such as pavement in urban areas, significantly reduce infiltrációs, leading to increased surface runoff and a higher risk of flooding. Conservation efforts often focus on promoting infiltrációs through practices like permeable paving and green infrastructure.
