emissions limits

Output restriction thresholds

Emissions 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 emissions limits to control air quality and address climate change: The new emissions limits require automakers to reduce tailpipe pollution by 50 percent.

Industries may face fines or restrictions for exceeding them.
