emitting
Giving off continuously
Emitting is releasing or sending out something—light, sound, heat, radiation, or signals.
A furnace emits heat; a beacon emits light; a speaker emits sound.
The word often appears in technical or environmental contexts: The factory was emitting toxic fumes.
Carbon emissions refer to greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere.
