Examples from the Corpus
emission• This forms part of the company's long standing commitment to reducing atmospheric emissions from its Teesside operations.• It estimates that in that time it cut its carbon dioxide emissions by more than 20 percent.• Sulphur dioxide emissions would also increase if that strategy were implemented.• Note that the high sulfur oil example leads to greater emissions than two of the coal groups.• Those are a necessary complement to last year's directive on emission standards for heavy duty diesel vehicles.• Economic incentives or disincentives such as pollutant emission charges or taxes should receive more attention than they had received previously.• U.S. emissions of carbon dioxide are still increasing.• Most businesses today simply burn the emissions in a closed incinerator, wasting energy from the fire.e·mis·sion noun →n COLLOCATIONS1LDOCE OnlineChineseSyllable
