Valeu! Realmente metric nesse caso só pode estar no campo semântico de referência, mas o key estava me incomodando. Não sabia qual a melhor palavra nesse contexto. Gostei de "referência padrão". Quanto à resposta do Mauro Lando, ela é bastante informativa, e o agradeço muito por ter explorado melhor o contexto (mostra que conhece a área), embora prefira padrão ao invés de essencial.

Hi:
Although it\'s true that \"metric\" means \"medida\", it is in the literal sense of measuring, not \"providencia\".

This means \"Matriz chave\" but you could also translate it as \"linha mestre\".

referencia essencial


Explanation:
O substantivo "metric" está empregado não como unidade de medida, mas em senso figurado, para significar "referencia", padrão, gabarito.
Isto dito, os riscos citados pelo texto são na verdade quantificáveis. Há métodos de análise de gases de incineradores que permitem detectar antes de tudo as dioxinas e o monomero de cloreto de vinilo(os cancer asssociated risks) e os non-cancer risks, como fuligem (soot) dioxido de enxôfre e outros.
cordialmente, Mauro Lando
