Emissions Control Catalysis
The important advances achieved over the past years in all technological directions (industry, energy, and health) contributing to human well-being are unfortunately, in many cases, accompanied by a threat to the environment, with photochemical smog, stratospheric ozone depletion, acid rain, global warming, and finally climate change being the most well-known major issues. These are the results of a variety of pollutants emitted through these human activities. The indications show that we are already at a tipping point that might lead to non-linear and sudden environmental change on a global scale. Aiming to tackle these adverse effects in an attempt to mitigate any damage that has already occurred and to ensure that we are heading toward a cleaner (green) and sustainable future, scientists around the world are developing tools and techniques to understand, monitor, protect, and improve the environment. Emissions control catalysis is continuously advancing, providing novel, multifunctional, and optimally promoted using a variety of methods, nano-structured catalytic materials, and strategies (e.g., energy chemicals recycling, cyclic economy) that enable us to effectively control emissions, either of mobile or stationary sources, improving the quality of air (outdoor and indoor) and water and the energy economy. Representative cases include the abatement and/or recycling of CO2, CO, NOx, N2O, NH3, CH4, higher hydrocarbons, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), particulate matter, and specific industrial emissions (e.g., SOx, H2S, dioxins aromatics, and biogas). The "Emissions Control Catalysis" Special Issue has succeeded in collecting 22 high-quality contributions, included in this MDPI open access book, covering recent research progress in a variety of fields relevant to the above topics and/or applications, mainly on: (i) NOx catalytic reduction from cars (i.e., TWC) and industry (SCR) emissions; (ii) CO, CH4, and other hydrocarbons removal, and (iii) CO2 capture/recirculation combining emissions control with added-value chemicals production.

Are speaker emissions harmful?
Speaker emissions, such as sound waves and electromagnetic fields, are generally not harmful to humans at normal levels. However, prolonged exposure to loud noise from speakers can lead to hearing damage. Additionally, some individuals may be sensitive to electromagnetic fields emitted by speakers, but the research on the health effects of these emissions is inconclusive. It is important to use speakers in moderation and at safe distances to minimize any potential risks.

What are spider emissions?
Spider emissions refer to the silk that spiders produce for various purposes such as building webs, capturing prey, or creating egg sacs. This silk is made up of proteins and is produced by specialized glands in the spider's abdomen. The silk is then extruded through spinnerets located at the rear of the spider's body, allowing them to create intricate webs or use it for other functions.

Are airplane emissions toxic?
Airplane emissions primarily consist of carbon dioxide, water vapor, nitrogen oxides, and other pollutants. While these emissions are not necessarily toxic in the same way as some industrial pollutants, they do contribute to air pollution and climate change. The impact of airplane emissions on human health can vary depending on factors such as proximity to airports and the concentration of pollutants in the air. Overall, while airplane emissions are not considered toxic in the traditional sense, they do have negative environmental and health effects.

Quantifying and mitigating Greenhouse Gas emissions from global aquaculture
This study quantifies global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from aquaculture (excluding farming of aquatic plants), and explains how cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) could be used to appraise GHG mitigation measures - thereby contributing to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 13 (Climate Action), while supporting SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), and SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth).Global aquaculture contributes directly to food security by increasing food availability and accessibility, and indirectly as a driver of economic development.Aquaculture accounted for approximately 0.45 percent of global anthropogenic GHG emissions in 2013.However, production is increasing rapidly, and emissions arising from post-farm activities, which are not included in the 0.45 percent, could increase the emissions intensity of some supply chains significantly.It is therefore important to improve the efficiency of global aquaculture to offset increases in production so that it can continue to make an important contribution to food security.There is great scope to improve resource efficiency through technical innovation.

Is organic sustainable?
Organic farming practices can be more sustainable than conventional methods in terms of reducing chemical inputs, promoting biodiversity, and improving soil health. However, there are challenges to the scalability and efficiency of organic farming, which can impact its overall sustainability. For example, organic farming typically requires more land and labor to produce the same amount of food as conventional methods, which can limit its ability to meet global food demand. Additionally, the transportation and distribution of organic products can have a higher environmental impact due to their shorter shelf life and the need for refrigeration. Overall, while organic farming has many sustainable benefits, there are also limitations to its long-term sustainability on a large scale.

What is meant by emissions trading?
Emissions trading, also known as cap and trade, is a market-based approach to controlling pollution by providing economic incentives for achieving reductions in the emissions of pollutants. It works by setting a cap on the total amount of a specific pollutant that can be emitted, and then allowing companies to buy and sell permits to emit that pollutant. This creates a financial incentive for companies to reduce their emissions, as those who can reduce emissions more easily can sell their excess permits to those who find it more difficult. This system aims to achieve the environmental goal of reducing emissions while also providing flexibility for businesses to find the most cost-effective way to do so.
