In this case, we estimate a $3\sigma$ upper limit on $N({\rm Fe})_{\rm dust}$ by considering the upper bound provided by the $3\sigma$ error on [X/Fe].\\ $^{e}$ Significant overabundance of sulphur compared to iron might be present in this system (see Sect.~\ref{sec:statistics}). The column density of Fe in dust derived from [S/Fe] (as all measurements based on S or O) should thus be considered strictly as an upper limit.\\ $^{f}$ Sum of the contributions of the $J=0$ and 1 rotational levels.\\ $^{g}$ $3\sigma$ upper limit.\\ $^{h}$ $f\equiv 2N({\rm H}_2)/(2N({\rm H}_2)+N({\rm H}^0))$. \end{table}
