Les processus de retombée tendent à agir partiellement à l'échelle régionale et, de ce fait, les concentrations ambiantes de ces gaz peuvent varier d'élevées à extrêmement basses. Les sources humaines de pollution sont souvent rassemblées près des complexes urbains. Il en résulte que les concentrations (et retombées des polluants) peuvent être élevées dans une sorte de bassin atmosphérique plus grand que la plupart des états ou des bassins de cours d'eau ou de lac, mais à une échelle plus petite que la circulation atmosphérique globale. 4, record 1, French, - bassin%20atmosph%C3%A9rique
