The dynamics of the particulate organic carbon(POC) pool in the ocean are central to the marine carbon cycle. POC is the link between surface primary production, the deep ocean, and sediments. The rate at which POC is degraded in the dark ocean can impact atmospheric CO² concentration. 3, record 1, English, - particulate%20organic%20carbon

Finally, mixed in the sediments is extraterrestrial dust that landed in Earth's oceans and then settled out. This dust carries a high concentration of helium-3(3He), a rare isotope of helium that is depleted on Earth but highly enriched in cosmic matter. 1, record 2, English, - extraterrestrial%20dust

Poussières d'origine extra-terrestre. De petites particules provenant de météorites pénètrent de façon constante dans l'atmosphère. La masse annuelle d'apport d'essaims périodiques de météores s'élèverait à environ 25 % de celle des météores sporadiques. [...] En comparant à différentes altitudes la concentration des particules d'origine terrestre et celle des particules d'origines extra-terrestre, on a pu avancer qu'à partir de 10 km d'altitude, l'aérosol d'origine extra-terrestre est prédominant. 1, record 2, French, - poussi%C3%A8re%20d%27origine%20extra%2Dterrestre

En Suisse, chaque année, près de 80 000 t d'appareils électriques et électroniques doivent être éliminés. Les ordinateurs représentent à eux seuls 10 000 t. L'analyse, après dissection, d'un gros échantillon de PC hors d'usage a permis d'évaluer la contribution de ces engins à la charge polluante en métaux lourds nuisibles : parmi les ordures ménagères, ils contribuent relativement peu à l'apport en cadmium et en mercure mais beaucoup à celle en cuivre, étain et nickel. 1, record 3, French, - charge%20polluante%20en%20m%C3%A9taux
