The following extract is from a text about a company's production of acid oil:
"Pour diminuer les coûts de traitement des eaux grasses, XX a investi dans une installation de traitement des savons à leur source, dans le raffinage. Ceci permet de réduire la **charge polluante** de 70 % et de produire de l’huile acide exportée sur la France."
Can anyone give me a correct English translation of 'charge polluante' please? I'm finding very few relevant refs on the Internet and they don't help with the English translation anyway.
Many TIA,
Vicky

pollution costs
this is just another option, since many companies have to pay for polluting the environment
