Emission may refer to:

Emission of chemical products:

Emission of air pollutants, notably:
- Flue gas, gas exiting to the atmosphere via a flue
- Exhaust gas, flue gas generated by fuel combustion
- Emission of greenhouse gases, which absorb and emit radiation in the thermal infrared range
Emission intensity, a measure of the emission rate of a given pollutant from a given source
Emission standards, requirements that set specific limits on the amount of certain pollutants that can be released into the environment
Emissions trading, a market-based approach used to pollution control

Emission of electromagnetic radiation:

Emission (electromagnetic radiation), a process by which energy is released in the form of photons
- List of light sources
Emission (radiocommunications), a radio signal (usually modulated) emitted from a radio transmitter
Emission coefficient, a coefficient in the power output per unit time of an electromagnetic source
Emission line, or "spectral line", a dark or bright line in an otherwise uniform and continuous spectrum
Emission nebula, a cloud of ionized gas emitting light of various colors
Emission spectrum, photoemission spectroscopy, flame emission spectroscopy and other types of spectroscopy
Emission theory, a competing theory for the special theory of relativity, explaining the results of the Michelson-Morley experiment
Emission theory (vision), the proposal that visual perception is accomplished by rays of light emitted by the eyes

Other uses:

Thermionic emission, the flow of charged particles called thermions from a charged metal or a charged metal oxide surface, archaically known as the Edison effect
