Looking at the entry for "emission" in the at focloir.ie, I see the Irish word "astaíocht" (the preposition "as" means "out") and the the expected focus on gases in the examples.

Back-checking the entry for "astaíocht" in the 1977 at teanglann.ie, we see that, back then, "emission" was a term associated with W(ireless) Tel(elgraphy?).
