umschlossene Bereiche

Explanation:
Standardphrase aus SDB und UMB, sie lautet: Eindringen in Kanalisation, Gewässer (auch Wasserläufe), Keller und umschlossene Bereiche vermeiden. Anstelle "Keller" wird auch 'tiefergelegene Bereiche' verwendet; gemeint ist, daß schwerer-als-Luft-Gase sich dort ansammeln und zu Sauerstoffmangel oder entzündbarer Atmosphäre führen können. Im Englischen steht dann aber auch nicht basement sondern low-ceiling spaces. Übrigens ist Plural notwendig. Gruß.
