- The catalyst is an anti-pollution device.
- Its main function is to reduce the polluting gases produced by combustion, hydrocarbons (HC), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbon monoxide (CO), by transforming them, through chemical reactions, into substances harmless to the atmosphere. and the human being.
