(Atmospheric). The lifetime of a greenhouse gas refers to the approximate amount of time it would take for the anthropogenic increment to an atmospheric pollutant concentration to return to its natural level (assuming emissions cease) as a result of either being converted to another chemical compound or being taken out of the atmosphere via a sink. This time depends on the pollutant's sources and sinks as well as its reactivity. The lifetime of a pollutant is often considered in conjunction with the mixing of pollutants in the atmosphere; a long lifetime will allow the pollutant to mix throughout the atmosphere. Average lifetimes can vary from about a week (sulfate aerosols) to more than a century (CFCs, carbon dioxide).

The addresses in the body of a method during which a storage location is actively in use, beginning when the location is initialized and ending with the last reference to the location. For example, an argument location on the stack begins its life immediately after the method's prolog since it was provided by the caller at the time the method begins execution. Other stack locations might be initialized later in the execution of the method. Some stack locations (or other storage locations) are not referenced after a particular point in the methods body and they are considered "dead" after that point. There is no need for the garbage collector to trace through locations that are not live, and it is critical that the garbage collector not trace through locations that have not been initialized or have out-of-date information. The garbage collector assumes that live locations are safe to trace.

A measure of the durability of a display, expressed in how many hours of operation it takes for a display to show half the brightness as compared to the brightness it showed when it was new. For example, if a display is rated for 50,000 hours lifetime, it should take 50,000 of cumulative operation before it is half as bright as compared to when it was new. Most displays degrade slowly over time so the effect is not noticeable unless compared directly with a new display.
