Dans la pratique, les pouvoirs publics entendent souvent, par «qualité de l'environnement», un état tel qu'un certain degré de pollution reste acceptable ou tolérable. Il s'agit là d'une vision réductrice du concept de qualité de l'environnement. Ce seuil de pollution est difficile à définir; il se résume souvent à l'interdiction de dépasser telle ou telle concentration, tel ou tel seuil critique. 3, record 1, French, - qualit%C3%A9%20de%20l%27environnement
