Catalytic converters are special devices fitted into automobiles in order to limit the emission of poisonous gases into the atmosphere.

Platinum-palladium and rhodium are the common catalysts used in catalytic converters which convert the toxic gases into their less harmful derivatives.

Catalytic converters convert the harmful gases produced by automobiles such as carbon monoxide and nitric oxide into carbon dioxide and nitrogen gas, respectively.

These are comparatively safer to be discharged into the environment.
