Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 DEF

A colourless and odourless gas ..., which is formed in the incomplete combustion of carbon or carbon compounds, [and which] is very poisonous, forming a very stable complex with haemoglobin ...  6, record 1, English, - carbon%20monoxide

Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Carbon monoxide is formed through incomplete oxidation of carbon. It has a 5-month residence time in the atmosphere, where its concentration is increasing from 0.8% to 1.5% per year. About three-quarters of the present global emission of 1 billion metric tons of carbon as carbon monoxide results from human activity. Forest clearing in the tropics accounts for about 15% (160 million metric tons), and the burning of savanna for agricultural purposes adds another 10% ... The principal natural sources of carbon monoxide include the oceans, plant emissions, and photochemical oxidation of natural non-methane hydrocarbons in the atmosphere (240 million metric tons).  7, record 1, English, - carbon%20monoxide

Le monoxyde de carbone est un gaz dit «sans effet de serre» puisqu'il n'a pas d'effet radiatif direct; son rôle cependant, puisqu'il a des effets radiatifs indirects importants, est considérable dans le réchauffement climatique.  5, record 1, French, - monoxyde%20de%20carbone

It cannot be excluded that a certain but quantitatively unknown fraction of the SO₂ found within the stratosphere originates from the photodissociation of carbonyl sulfide (CSO) as suggested by Crutzen (1976). CSO has been discovered in tropospheric air where it is probably produced from biological and industrial sources and behaves as a relatively inert gas.  7, record 2, English, - carbon%20oxide%20sulfide

Le dioxyde de soufre est, par exemple, une espèce dont les nuisances sont bien connues en raison de son caractère acidifiant. Cependant, il existe de nombreux autres dérivés, tels que le sulfure de carbonyle (COS), le sulfure de carbone (CS₂), les sulfures organiques gazeux et l'hydrogène sulfuré (H₂S) introduits à la fois par les processus naturels et par les activités humaines.  6, record 2, French, - oxyde%20sulfure%20de%20carbone
