emitters
Things releasing energy
An emitter is something that sends out or releases energy, particles, light, sound, or other substances into its surroundings.
The term appears frequently in technical contexts: a carbon emitter releases greenhouse gases, a light emitter produces illumination, and in electronics, the emitter is the part of a transistor that outputs current.
The factory was identified as a major pollutant emitter.
Environmental discussions often rank countries or industries by their status as emitters of carbon dioxide.
