L'adjectif français «respirable» veut dire «qu'on peut respirer» (employé surtout négativement). P. ex. : «Air pollué qui n'est pas respirable». Il correspond au terme anglais «breathable». Le terme anglais «respirable» désigne plutôt les particules suffisamment fines pour être susceptibles de se déposer sur les poumons. 4, record 1, French, - inhalable
