Beside the long-life greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, also short-lived air pollutants such as ozone in the lower atmosphere and light-absorbing particles (so-called black carbon) seem to cause important man-made influences in the absorption of radiation in the atmosphere.

7. Notes that expectations with regard to nuclear energy, to which the Euratom Treaty gave expression five decades ago, have changed; notes that those expectations now relate more to the need to have, in the form of the Euratom Treaty, a sound legal framework to govern the supervision of the use of nuclear energy in the European Union and to provide a framework for the integration into the European Union of countries which use nuclear power, through the transposition of the Euratom acquis communautaire; acknowledges that significant chapters in Title II of the Euratom Treaty have made it possible to protect the public, workers and the ...[+++]environment against ionising radiation (Chapter III), to develop research in the areas of waste management and plant safety (Chapter I) and to implement safeguards in respect of fissile materials in Europe (Chapter VII);

Absorption of UV light by the incorporated TiO2 leads to its "photo-activation" and the subsequent degradation of the pollutants absorbed onto the particles.

Negative interference occurs in NDIR instruments by the interfering gas broadening the absorption band of the measured gas, and in CLD instruments by the interfering gas quenching the radiation.
