a favor do vento
Portuguese to English

Chemistry; Chem Sci/Eng
segurança de produtos quÃmicos
Estou com dúvida em relação a como colocar 'a favor do vento' em inglês. Encontrei a equivalência 'upwind', mas alguns dicionários definem upwind como 'contra o vento'.
Upwind = a favor ou contra o vento?
Contexto: Remova as embalagens do fogo, ficando **a favor do vento** para evitar intoxicação.
Upwind = a favor ou contra o vento?
Contexto: Remova as embalagens do fogo, ficando **a favor do vento** para evitar intoxicação.
