As described in the sampling protocol [of the Potable Water Sampling Procedures Manual], first-draw samples were taken and analyzed for the following metal parameters : copper, lead and zinc. First-draw samples are taken to provide background information and are used to develop preventive action plans for the building's water distribution. It is not uncommon for first-draw samples to show metals content above the GCDWQ [Guidelines for Canadian Drinking Water Quality] Maximum Acceptable Concentration(MAC), which applies only to five-minute draw samples. The first-draw sample results are compared to the five-minute draw MAC to determine the overall condition of the distribution system. The five-minute sample is compared to the GCDWQ standards to determine whether the water is safe for consumption. The results from the zero-minute samples tested for lead ranged in value from less than 0. 005 mg/L to 0. 03 mg/L. All five-minute lead results were less than 0. 005 mg/L... 1, record 2, English, - five%2Dminute%20draw

For broad-leaved plants, acute injury takes the form of lesions on both upper and lower surfaces, usually between the veins...

The metal parameters monitored at this site were lead, copper, zinc, cadmium, chromium, nickel, and arsenic. Excessive concentrations of heavy metals are toxic to humans, therefore, metals are subject to State and Federal drinking water quality standards. Lead, copper, zinc, and cadmium are the metals which typically exhibit greater concentrations than other metals found in urban runoff ... 3, record 5, English, - metal%20parameter

Il n'est pas nécessaire d'utiliser la traduction littérale complète «paramètres métaux» en contexte. Il est plus élégant de ne parler que de l'étude des paramètres XXX (tout court) ou des métaux XXX (tout court). C'est suffisamment clair, surtout si on énumère par la suite les métaux concernés. Enfin, il ne faut surtout pas utiliser une expression comme «paramètres métalliques», ce qui serait absurde. 2, record 5, French, - param%C3%A8tre%20m%C3%A9taux
