Emissionsaffect is a term used in environmental science and policy to describe the overall effect of emissions on the atmosphere, climate, ecosystems, and human health. It is not a single quantity but a framework for considering how emissions from energy, transport, industry, and agriculture influence future conditions.
The concept integrates multiple channels: climate forcing from greenhouse gases and short-lived pollutants; air quality and
Measurement and modeling rely on inventories, atmospheric chemistry models, exposure and dose-response assessments, and integrated assessment
In policy and communication, emissionsaffect provides a shorthand for comparing trade-offs and co-benefits of emission reduction
