Emisijas
Emisijas (emissions) refer to substances released into the environment as a result of natural processes or human activities. In environmental science, the term is commonly used for gases, liquids, or solids released into air, water, or soil. Emissions can be classified as anthropogenic (caused by humans) or natural. Anthropogenic emissions are the main drivers of air pollution and climate change, while natural emissions occur from volcanic activity, wildfires, decomposition, and other natural processes.
Common types of emissions include greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide
Emissions are measured and reported through inventories that quantify releases by source and sector. Units typically
Reduction strategies focus on abatement and prevention: improving energy efficiency, switching to cleaner fuels, electrification of
