Période pendant laquelle se trouvent réunis, dans une région donnée, plusieurs facteurs (en particulier d'ordre météorologique) pouvant rendre beaucoup plus dangereuse qu'elle ne l'est généralement la concentration des polluants atmosphériques. 5, record 1, French, - %C3%A9pisode%20de%20pollution%20atmosph%C3%A9rique
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
[...] une étude subjective de situations synoptiques stagnantes a montré que des concentrations de bioxyde de soufre et d'aérosols de sulfate peuvent s'accumuler d'une façon importante au-dessus de larges régions en Europe, ce qui se traduit par des dépôts élevés à proximité des sources d'émission et dans d'autres régions lorsque les vents augmentent. Un épisode est souvent le résultat d'une telle succession de faits. Il semble également que des épisodes peuvent naître de la convergence de masses d'air relativement peu pollué vers une position frontale. 6, record 1, French, - %C3%A9pisode%20de%20pollution%20atmosph%C3%A9rique
