OBS

Le terme «rémanence», souvent considéré comme synonyme de celui de «persistance», possède une connotation particulière. Dans le Petit Robert, la rémanence est définie comme la «persistance partielle d'un phénomène après disparition de sa cause»; dans un article de L'Actualité terminologique portant sur les pesticides, elle est définie comme la «persistance d'un produit au-delà de sa période normale d'activité.» (ACTER 1984 vol. 17, no. 2, p. 10).
