French term or phrase: zone de mesure/zone de contrôle
Les cartouches de prélèvement des gaz du sol (pour les paramètres organiques) sont constituées de charbons actifs comportant 2 zones : zone 1 ou « zone de mesure » et zone 2 ou « zone de contrôle ». Lorsque la zone 1 est saturée, la zone 2 adsorbe une partie des polluants non retenus par la zone 1. Le dosage réalisé (zone 1 ou zone 1 +zone 2) est donc potentiellement sous-évalué

Explanation:
I think that there is a problem in using the word "zone" in relation to a cartridge and it is more natural in English to call it a "section".
