For example, only about 1% of the CFMs [chlorofluoromethanes] in the atmosphere is dissociated each year, so that if there were an inactive sink that removes 2% of the CFMs each year without destroying ozone, then the ozone reduction would be only one-third of the estimate without such a sink. 4, record 5, English, - sink

En supposant que l'intensité globale des puits de H2S est égale à celle des sources, on estime qu'environ la moitié de l'émission totale des composés réduits est transformée dans l'air en anhydride sulfureux [...] Les puits les plus importants des particules de sulfates sont fournis par les retombées sèches et humides. La retombée sèche est surtout due à la sédimentation des particules sous l'action de la pesanteur et à l'effet de la diffusion turbulente. 4, record 5, French, - puits
