emission limits
Regulatory pollution caps
Emission limits are regulatory caps on the amount of pollutants that can be released into the environment, typically from vehicles, factories, or power plants.
Governments set emission limits to control air quality and address climate change: The new emission limits will force automakers to redesign their engines.
Also called emission standards.
