emissions Before factories release the waste gases into the air, filters are used to "deal with"/"process" emissions. Even if they don't use filters, they do something to reduce the emissions or make the emissions less harmful. What are the verbs?

One quite sophisticated/advanced verb that you could use would be "to mitigate." "Factories apply filters to mitigate the effects of the smoke that they emit." to mitigate = to reduce the damaging effects of something.

You could also use 'scrub' or 'clean' https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scrubber Best wishes Bob

How about 'pollutant reduction' If, however, your audience for this translation is for professionals such as engineers, I would go with Andrew's choice of 'mitigation'
