Controls
• Catalytic converters.
• Improved combustion efficiency.

New cards
Catalytic Converters
They oxidise carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide.
Carbon dioxide is also a pollutant, and the increase in carbon dioxide emissions caused by oxidising the carbon monoxide is very small compared with other emissions of carbon dioxide.
6
New cards
Improved Combustion Efficiency
More carbon is reacted to form carbon dioxide rather than carbon monoxide
