Translation of "accumulation de chlore atmosphérique " (French → English) :

3.0.2. The environmental hazard assessment shall consider the potential effects on the environment, comprising the (1) aquatic (including sediment), (2) terrestrial and (3) atmospheric compartments, including the potential effects that may occur (4) via food-chain accumulation.

Biodiversity is under threat, acidification continues, eutrophication is increasing, chemicals are building up in our bodies, air pollution is becoming deadly, climate change is accelerating – and all this is happening at this very moment.

Biodiversity is under threat, acidification continues, eutrophication is increasing, chemicals are building up in our bodies, air pollution is becoming deadly, climate change is accelerating – and all this is happening at this very moment.

Of particular concern are climate change, the loss of biodiversity and natural habitats, soil loss and degradation, increasing waste volumes, the build-up of chemicals in the environment, noise and certain air and water pollutants.

_____________ (1 ) Improvements with regard to soil eutrophication: As a result of the national emission ceilings, the Community area with depositions of nutrient nitrogen in excess of the critical loads will be reduced by about 30 per cent compared with the situation in 1990 ( 2 ) A grid cell is 150 km x 150 km, which is the resolution used when mapping critical loads on a European scale, and also when monitoring emissions and depositions of air pollutants by the Co-operative Programme for Monitoring and Evaluation of the Long-range Transmission of Air Pollutants in Europe (EMEP) ( 3 ) Measure of excess ozone accumulated over a threshold of ...[+++] 60 ppb ( 4 ) Measure of excess ozone accumulated over a threshold of 40 ppb (Annex II is deleted)

It indicates that with the chlor-alkali regulations we have moved down to a 99 per cent reduction of discharges to water and a 95 per cent reduction in emissions to the atmosphere over a period of 13 or 14 years.
