«Aération» est le terme généralement donné à la ventilation quand elle est naturelle. Il est parfois étendu, abusivement à notre avis, à la ventilation mécanique. Dans le domaine minier, «ventilation» est synonyme de «aérage». Voir aussi «ventilation» et «ventilation naturelle» dans TERMIUM. 7, record 2, French, - puits%20ventil%C3%A9
