Because the aquatic threat is widely recognized, both environmental and drinking water standards for many materials can be found. These standards are included as representative of degree-of-hazard levels for substances in water. Fewer jurisdictions have regulated airborne pollutant levels; however, in cases where these limits exist, they have been included. Airborne limits are often directed toward neighbouring human health considerations, in contrast to environmental water requirements. 1, record 1, English, - airborne%20limit

Il s'agira de limites de doses ou de limites de concentrations pendant un temps d'exposition donné; lorsque la limite ou le seuil sont dépassés, les troubles redoutés peuvent apparaître. [...] l'énoncé de certaines normes [...] justifie les limites admises en précisant les conséquences qui peuvent résulter d'un dépassement en concentration ou en temps d'exposition. 3, record 1, French, - limite%20de%20concentration%20en%20polluant%20atmosph%C3%A9rique
