Tech/Engineering - Mining & Minerals / Gems
French term or phrase: marquage chimique
From an environmental impact assessment on a mining project's potential impact on the surrounding populations:

L’impact hydrochimique du projet sur la nappe est faible . Un marquage chimique localisé des eaux pourra être noté au niveau de la fosse et en aval par rapport à l’écoulement des nappes. Ainsi, les populations environnantes, situées en amont, ne seront pas concernées d’un point de vue sanitaire.

Thanks!

"the frequent presence of gyrophoric acid in P. baltimorensis in much of its range gives a chemical marker for identifying most immature thalli. "

"Dye tracing" seems more accurate!
"There, the water course divides from a lake dammed by .... and responsible for the results observed by dye tracing experiments."
Keep the marking for fish.
