ilmanpäästöjen
Ilmanpäästöjen is a Finnish term that literally means “air emissions.” It refers to the release of various pollutants and greenhouse gases into the atmosphere from natural and anthropogenic sources. Common components of ilmanpäästöjen include carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, and particulate matter. These emissions originate from industrial processes, transportation, agriculture, energy production, and waste management. Natural sources such as volcanic activity, wildfires, and decomposition of organic matter also contribute, but human activities account for the majority of contemporary changes in atmospheric composition.
Measurement of ilmanpäästöjen is conducted by national and international agencies using ground‑based monitoring stations, satellite observations,
The impacts of ilmanpäästöjen are broad: they drive climate change through the greenhouse effect, influence air
