Le déplacement des produits chimiques de l'air vers les surfaces du sol ou de l'eau peut se produire en raison d'un dépôt atmosphérique humide lorsque la pluie ou la neige entraînent le lessivage du produit chimique, ou en raison d'un dépôt sec qui se produit lorsque les particules sortent de l'air ou lorsque les gaz s'adsorbent aux surfaces. Le processus de dépôt renvoie les produits chimiques vers l'eau et le sol, où ils peuvent être stockés ou rendus à l'atmosphère par évaporation ou échange gazeux, continuant ainsi le cycle des polluants dans l'environnement. 2, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9p%C3%B4t%20atmosph%C3%A9rique%20humide

Systematic solar radiation measurements in southern Africa commenced in the early 1950s and pioneering research on the spatial patterns of radiation, using very few data, was first published in 1957 by Drummond and Vowinckel. Schulze and McGee(1978) updated summer and winter solar radiation patterns from subsequent radiation observations using linear interpolative techniques, while Reid(1981) used sunshine duration as a surrogate to derive solar radiation for each month of the year. Reid's distribution patterns, however, remain artifacts of the point distribution of sunshine recording stations. 1, record 3, English, - sunshine%20recording

In North America, white bread is usually made with 2 to 4% fat; in Japan the level may be 6 to 8%. Lard and plastic shortening, although still widely used, have been replaced to a large extent with soy oil or similar products that are fluid at room temperature. When lard is used, the average level in the United States is about 2.7% while the level of plastic shortening is about 2.9%. By comparison, the average oil usage is about 2.1%. This reduction in shortening usage of 25 to 30% has been made possible through the use of dough strengtheners. The weighted average for all shortenings used in U.S. bread production is 2.3% which is considerably less than the average used 10 to 20 years ago. 3, record 4, English, - plastic%20shortening
Record number: 4, Textual support number: 2 CONT
If a solid shortening is used in a bread or roll, it can make the product firmer than one made with oil. Following distribution during winter, or in cooler storage conditions, consumers may feel such a product and think it's stale. Sweet rolls are a little different because they have higher levels of both fat and sugar. Here, instead of oil, an emulsified plastic shortening may be better. 4, record 4, English, - plastic%20shortening

En Amérique du Nord, le pain blanc contient généralement de 2 à 4 % de matières grasses; au Japon, la proportion atteint jusqu'à 6 % ou 8 %. Bien qu'ils soient encore couramment utilisés, le saindoux et les matières grasses fermes (plastiques) ont été remplacés dans une large mesure par l'huile de soja ou des produits similaires qui sont liquides à la température ambiante. Aux États-Unis, l'utilisation de saindoux s'établit en moyenne de 2,7 % du poids en farine et celle de matières grasses fermes, à approximativement 2,9 %. Par comparaison, l'utilisation de l'huile s'établit en moyenne à environ 2,1 %. La diminution de 25 % à 30 % dans l'utilisation des matières grasses a été rendue possible grâce à l'emploi de raffermissants de la pâte. La moyenne pondérée pour toutes les matières grasses utilisées dans la production panaire américaine est de 2,3 %, ce qui est beaucoup moins que la moyenne d'il y a dix ou vingt ans. 1, record 4, French, - mati%C3%A8re%20grasse%20ferme
