CONT

Reduction of lead emissions and point of impingement readings has not ended local concerns, but rather, focussed attention on questions about cumulative loadings, the existence of any hazard threshold level, and the precise degree and nature of risks relative to a complex of variables (age, level of exposure, inhalation versus ingestion, etc.).

OBS

hazard threshold level: this term seems redundant to us.

CONT

Seuil de danger de dommage auditif pour une exposition à certains bruits de 8 heures/jour : 85 décibels.

OBS

seuil de danger : équivalent confirmé par M. Claude Gauthier, du ministère de l'Énergie, Mines et Ressources du Canada.

OBS

L'expression anglaise «hazard threshold level» nous paraît redondante; il n'est pas essentiel de préciser «niveau à partir duquel est atteint un seuil de danger».
