The perturbation of the ozone layer, through the input of additional nitrogen oxides, is only one basis for concern about nitrogen pollution. A cost/benefit analysis of the nitrogen fertilizer impact on the ozone layer probably cannot be made at this time and in any case, it should not be make independently of other nitrogen problems. 3, record 1, English, - nitrogen%20pollution

L'utilisation concrète qui est faite de ces modèles peut fort bien les détourner de ces objectifs initiaux : on peut se servir des résultats d'un modèle d'optimisation pour poser de nouvelles questions (perspective exploratoire); symétriquement, le contenu des variantes d'un scénario peut faire apparaître celle qui sera retenue par le décideur comme la seule possible (optimisation politique implicite). 1, record 2, French, - sc%C3%A9nario

In the last decade many applications of non-thermal atmospheric discharges have been investigated for application in pollution control... Streamer like discharges like pulsed corona and dieletric barrier discharges as well as atmospheric glow discharges has been used. In all cases a transition to the spark regime or arc regime is prevented to keep the energy input limited to(fast) electrons instead of to neutral gas heating. 2, record 3, English, - arc%20regime

As the current and voltage increase, the cathode current density also increases, ultimately heating the cathode and causing incandescence and thermionic emission. Once the cathode is hot enough to emit electrons thermionically, the discharge will change to an arc regime. 3, record 3, English, - arc%20regime

Dessiccation de l'air. Il est indispensable que l'air d'alimentation de l'ozoneur soit très sec, en effet, du fait de la présence de vapeur d'eau, il se produit un abaissement de la valeur de la constante diélectrique du milieu gazeux, ce qui peut entraîner à la limite le passage du régime d'effluve à un régime d'arc, avec pour conséquence la détérioration plus ou moins rapide des électrodes. 2, record 3, French, - r%C3%A9gime%20d%27arc

Tubes électroniques. La décharge «luminescente» fournit un courant variant de quelques millièmes d'ampères à dix ampères sous quelques centaines de volts. Elle est utilisée notamment dans les tubes d'éclairage (tubes «fluorescents») et pour l'excitation de certains lasers (hélium-néon). On emploie souvent une cathode chaude qui réduit la tension et augmente le courant (thyratrons, valves à mercure). Le régime d'arc, sous quelques volts, fournit des courants pouvant atteindre des valeurs de l'ordre de 10³ A (tubes redresseurs industriels, ignitrons). 3, record 3, French, - r%C3%A9gime%20d%27arc

We have seen that the producer will use the facility to pollute, like any other input, up to the point where its marginal product is equal to its cost to him.... In cruder terms, the pollution will be pushed only to the point where what society gets out of it(the marginal product to the firm) is just offset by what it costs society.... Thus, to achieve the optimum degree of pollution abatement what is needed is some way of making the polluter use the pollution input up to the point where it would cost him more to use more of it than society would gain in terms of higher output. 1, record 4, English, - pollution%20input

Il est difficile de rendre cette expression anglaise en évitant la périphrase en français. Si le français possédait un adjectif dérivé du substantif «pollution», on pourrait toujours avoir recours à un équivalent comme «facteur de production pollutionnelle». 2, record 4, French, - pollution%20consid%C3%A9r%C3%A9e%20comme%20facteur%20de%20production
