act of sending out gas or energy
the act of giving out gas, light, heat, or similar from a place or object, often into the air
Vartosenos šablonas:
the emission of [gas/light/heat/sound] from [source]
Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes confuse 'emission' with 'emissionS'. 'Emission' (singular) is usually the act or process of sending something out, while 'emissions' (plural) often refers to the gases themselves. They may also mix up 'emission' with 'omission', which means leaving something out.
Sinonimai
release (Very general word for letting something go out; does not especially suggest pollution or energy the way 'emission' often does.)
|
discharge (Often used for the flow or sending out of liquids, gases, or electricity; slightly more technical or formal in this context.)
Antonimai
absorption (Focuses on taking in energy or substances rather than sending them out.)
|
capture (Describes actively collecting or trapping gases or energy instead of releasing them.)

polluting gases that are released
gases or small particles that go into the air from cars, factories, and other things, usually making the air dirty
Vartosenos šablonas:
emissions from [cars/factories/source]
Dažna klaida:
Learners often forget that 'emissions' in this sense is almost always plural when talking about pollution (e.g. 'carbon emissions', not usually 'carbon emission'). They may also incorrectly say 'gas emissions' when 'exhaust fumes' or 'air pollution' might be more natural in some contexts.
Sinonimai
pollutants (Broader term for harmful substances in the air, water, or soil; not limited to gases like 'emissions' often is.)
|
output (General word for what comes out of a process; less specific about pollution and environmental impact.)
Antonimai
clean air (Refers to air without harmful substances, which is what reducing emissions is meant to achieve.)
|
zero emissions (Describes a situation where no polluting gases are released at all.)
