On a aujourd'hui de bonnes raisons de penser que le nouveau dépérissement forestier est provoqué par des matières polluantes transportées par l'atmosphère (matières polluants atmogènes), principalement le dioxyde de soufre (SO2), les oxydes d'azote (NOx), l'ozone (O3) et [...] les matières carboniques. 4, record 1, French, - de%20l%27air

À l'origine, «airborne» se distinguait de «atmospheric» parce qu'il possédait une nuance relative au déplacement dans l'atmosphère. De plus en plus, maintenant, ces deux épithètes sont considérés comme de parfaits synonymes, et «airborne» tend même à disparaître au profit de «atmospheric». On l'utilisera (de même que l'équivalent correspondant «aéroporté») lorsqu'on jugera nécessaire de faire ressortir le sens de déplacement dans l'atmosphère, ou en apposition avec des termes concrets. Ainsi, on dira indifféremment «polluant aéroporté» ou «polluant atmosphérique», mais on ne pourrait pas dire «transport aéroporté» pour «transport atmosphérique». 6, record 1, French, - de%20l%27air
