Nous allons donner ci-après trois exemples d'implantation de site de prélèvement (...) qui donneront une mesure exacte de l'effort qu'il faut consentir à accomplir si l'on veut que la pollution atmosphérique puisse être surveillée sur une vaste étendue de terrain. Cependant, l'effort est à la mesure des résultats à en attendre, car il ne faut pas perdre de vue que c'est grâce à une telle surveillance que des mesures de lutte efficaces peuvent être prises si la situation l'exige, et sont prises effectivement. 1, record 2, French, - site%20de%20pr%C3%A9l%C3%A8vement

"Site de prélèvement" constitue une solution de traduction acceptable, puisque ce sont des prélèvements qui sont en pratique effectués dans les stations de surveillance. Ce terme n'en demeure pas moins un spécifique, qui correspond à l'anglais "sampling site". Un terme plus générique, comme "emplacement de surveillance" (ou d'observation), pourrait aussi être utilisé. 2, record 2, French, - site%20de%20pr%C3%A9l%C3%A8vement
