Les termes qui servent à désigner cette notion servent aussi à désigner des particules en suspension dans un liquide. Il est cependant inutile de préciser que les particules sont en suspension «dans l'air» si le contexte est clair. 3, record 1, French, - solides%20en%20suspension
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
«Matières» et «particules» sont des termes généraux qui, en pollution atmosphérique, peuvent désigner des solides (c'est souvent le cas) mais ils peuvent aussi désigner des particules liquides (parfois appelées «vésicules») dans le cas des aérosols ou des brouillards. En pollution de l'eau, bien sûr, les mêmes termes sont toujours synonymes de «particules solides». 3, record 1, French, - solides%20en%20suspension
