OBS

refugio antiaéreo: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que el Diccionario de la lengua española define "antiaéreo" como destinado a la defensa contra aeronaves enemigas o a mitigar los efectos de su ataque y ofrece de ejemplo la secuencia "refugio antiaéreo", que registran además diccionarios combinatorios como el Redes o el Práctico. Se trata de un adjetivo formado a partir del prefijo anti- (opuesto) y la base aéreo (perteneciente o relativo a la aviación).
