“Critical Levels”
The concentrations of pollutants in the atmosphere above which direct adverse effects on receptors, such as plants, ecosystems or materials may occur according to
present knowledge (UN-ECE, 1988).
“Critical Loads”
A quantitative estimate of an exposure to one or more pollutants below which harmful effects on specified sensitive elements of the environment do not occur
according to present knowledge (Nilsson and Grennfelt, 1988).
