Exhaust regulation systems
Emission controls are systems and regulations designed to reduce pollutants released into the environment, especially from vehicles and industrial sources.
A car's emission controls include catalytic converters and sensors that limit harmful exhaust gases.
The term also covers government standards that manufacturers must meet: The factory failed to pass emission controls testing.
