I loved Valentin's solution. That's how I normally approach things... but then I found the above word on the company's own website, so I guess I gotta go with that "obscure" one.

Thansk to you all. In the case of a tie, I always give points to the first received... you never know how urgent it might be.

Last Update: May 11, 1998
Immissions are the effects of air impurities, noises, light, heat and other radiation, vibrations or similar occurrences, caused by a plant (e.g. power station, waste incineration plant, blast furnace) or products (e.g. motor vehicles) and affecting an area or a point in the area (e.g. effects of noise from a road on the surrounding buildings or residents). This is in contrast to emission, which describes the effects given off by one or more sources (e.g. substance emissions).
