avlägsnande

Avlägsnande is a Swedish noun that denotes the act or process of removing something from a place, state, or situation. It is formed from the verb avlägsna with the nominal suffix -nande and is used in formal and technical language to describe deliberate separation, extraction, or elimination.

In medicine and dentistry, avlägsnande refers to the surgical removal of tissue, a foreign body, or an organ. Examples include avlägsnande av vävnad, avlägsnande av tumörer, or avlägsnande av en tand. In common parlance, dental extraction is often described as tandutdragning, but avlägsnande is the broader medical term.

In environmental science and engineering, avlägsnande denotes removing contaminants or unwanted material from air, water, soil, or equipment. This can involve filtration, chemical treatment, bioremediation, or physical extraction to achieve a desired purity or safety level. Efficient avlägsnande of pollutants is a central goal in remediation and environmental management.

In construction, maintenance, and manufacturing, avlägsnande is used for the removal of components, coatings, or debris. Demontage and borttagning are related terms; avlägsnande emphasizes the action of taking away rather than altering in place.

Synonyms and related terms include borttagning, radering (in data contexts), elimination, and exstirpation in medical terminology. The term is neutral and descriptive, suitable for technical writing as well as lay explanations, with the exact meaning clarified by context.
