What on a car reduces harmful emissions from cars?

Vehicle pollutants harm our health and contain greenhouse gases that cause climate change. Burning gasoline and diesel fuel creates harmful byproducts like nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, benzene, and formaldehyde. In addition, vehicles emit carbon dioxide, the most common greenhouse gas.

What helps reduce dangerous emissions in a car?

Keep your vehicle well-tuned and tires inflated properly to reduce exhaust emissions. Combine errands into one trip — cars pollute less when they are warmed up. Avoid idling — idling exhaust contains more pollutants than running exhaust.

What part of a car reduces emissions?

To keep them from emitting too many pollutants, cars are fitted with catalytic converters. A catalytic converter monitors your car's exhaust for oxygen so that the engine computer can decrease or increase the oxygen accordingly.

What device reduces pollutants from car emissions?

A catalytic converter is an exhaust emission control device that reduces toxic gases and pollutants in exhaust gas from motor vehicle engines into less-toxic pollutants by catalyzing a redox reaction (an oxidation and a reduction reaction). Catalytic converters are used with gasoline and diesel-powered engines.

What device reduces the toxicity of automotive exhaust?

A catalytic converter is a vehicle emissions control device that is used to convert toxic byproducts of combustion (occurring in the exhaust of an internal combustion engine) to less toxic substances by performing catalysed chemical reactions. The reactions tend to vary depending upon the type of catalyst installed.
