Catalytic converters

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Catalytic converters are a type of emission control device fitted in vehicles to convert harmful pollutants in the exhaust gas (such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides) into less harmful gases (such as carbon dioxide, water, and nitrogen). Therefore, option B is the correct answer as it best describes the function of catalytic converters. Options A and D are incorrect because they imply that catalytic converters produce nitrogen oxides and ozone, which is not true. Option C is also incorrect as it suggests that catalytic converters are only used in industrial settings, whereas they are more commonly used in vehicles.
